3.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
@ 2012 Avery SourFest. Murky tarnished copper/gold, no head. Weird aroma of wheat and clove with funky yeast, metal, and subtly sour barrels. Taste was eccentric and wheaty, with notes of clove and banana with citrus notes on the sour funky yeast. It all comes together in a really tasty brew.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at Avery Sour Fest 3. Pours hazy orange with a small, bubbly off-white head, short retention with spare lacing. Aroma is floral and earthy hops, apple, peach, pear, and apricot esters, cookie malt and oak notes. Flavor is tart, funky fruit, grainy and husky malt, light bitterness, oak, and a very dry finish. Medium body, medium-low carbonation.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap @ Boulder SourFest. From notes.
Pours quite hazy, like a weissbier, but with the signature brettanomyces affect of clumps of carbonation collecting at the surface in random ways. Aroma is sharp, citrusy, grassy (hay-like), and leathery. The taste was not as impressive as the aroma: bretty leather-funk and citrus/tart, a faint grassy character, and dry astringency.
A fine beer, but not one that sticks out from the fest.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at 3rd Annual Boulder SourFest (06-02-2012). Poured a hazy, pale orange with a small white head. Smell is wheat, biscuit, fermented fruit, and light citrus. Body is light with soft carbonation. Taste is citrus, light sourness, biscuit, wheat, but I’m not picking up much hefeweizen in the flavor at all. Meh.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: JUN 4, 2012 Tap @ Boulder SourFest. Orange brownish head worth a light colored head. Funky, sour, gueuze aroma. Fairly funky, mild to moderately sour, slightly citrusy lambic flavor. Update: Tried at the 3rd Annual SourFest and I got more of a yeasty, coconut, bretty, citrusy flavor. Not really any funk whatsoever. It was pretty good, but not as good as I remembered it to be.
