mostly clear amber/gold body. nose of bandaid, sweet honey, various soup spices, crackers, brown sugar. mild yeast presence. sweet approach: honey and wheat with light acidity and an oily/syrupy finish. raspberries? I can’t tell.

On Tap in the Brewery Room at the Great Divide Brewery, Denver 10/10/2008 Fruity aroma. Golden coloured and a little hazy in appearance. Smooth on the palate with a sour fruit flavour. Crisp and slightly bitter finish.

Avery Sour Ale Fest. Not crazy about this one. A strong medicinal presence in the nose and flavor really put me off to this one. A bit of fruity tartness, but not much in the way of raspberries. The finish is of stale bread and yeast.

Draught from Avery Sour Fest. Orange with thin white head. Aroma is spicy, orange and berry fruits. Taste is sour but smooth caramel and an oily texture. Ends kind of weird and flat, long, and wet.

On tap at Avery Sour Fest poured a hazy orange amber with a small lingering ivory head. Aromas of raspberry, straw, barnyard funk and light spice. Palate was light bodied and smooth with a dry lightly tart finish. Flavors of leather, barnyard funk and light raspbverry witrh a smooth dry funky finish.
