Tasted at the SF beer week opening gala 2011. Going strictly off my notes here, I picked up oaky, sour, banana, tangerines in the aroma. The flavor had sweet and sour tangerines with some yeasty notes. A bit watery on the palate but a surprisingly good sour beer.

Tasted at Triple Rock. Hazy orange with a fizzy white head. Huge banana aroma and taste with a lot of bourbon throughout, the Brett. gives more crispness to the taste than sourness, and some alcohol warmth to the finish. A really interesting beer and quite good.
