Thanks to bman1113vr. Hazy orange pour. Aroma is funk, cheese, pear and apple. Flavor is earth, light funk compared to the nose, oak, white wine, white grapes. Creamy mouthfeel.

12 oz. bottle; pours clear copper with light white head lingering; aromas of fresh oak, lemons, vanilla, cookies; lively mouthfeel with very faint puckery finish; lacking much depth again and oak heavy for sure; some lemon and dry malt; not much going overall and another surprising disappointment from Jolly Pumpkin

12oz bottle. Cloudy golden amber, off white ring around the glass head. Sour fruit, funk, oak, white vinegar, leather, and a little bit of cherry. A nice sour.

12 ounce thanks to ogglethorp. Cherry and vinegar. The bite is not intense at all, however, and the blends mellow it out into a smooth and well done beer. Really nice.

Thanks to foofaa for sharing this one at our Gueuze tasting. A - Pours murky amber orange with a fingers worth of white foam leaving light lace down the glass. S - Smells of tart funkiness, horse blanket, apples, citric fruit, oak and a muted caramel malt backbone. A ton of lactic funkiness throughout the nose. T - Starts off with a touch of caramel sweetness quickly being enveloped by the decent sized lactic sourness kick. Once the sourness dies down a bit you get hints of apples, pears, lemons and some dry oak that lingers on the pallet for some time. M - Medium body and flavor with moderate carbonation. Lots of lactic tartness initially leaving the pallet dry at the finish. O - Compared to most of the other sours we drank this one was nothing special but I still enjoyed it none the less. It had plenty of flavor to keep me coming back for more. Thanks again Dan!

Bottle. Pours a hazy deep amber with an off white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a really nice funky note with a bit of light tart fruit. Flavor has light tart fruit with really nice funk, acid and a hint of floral. Really well balanced and complex.

12 oz bottle. Hazy brown with random patches of white foam and speckles. Nose is sour cherry, strawberry and leather. Touches of damp basement, red wine vinegar and toffee. Drinks much like a wine with just the faintest hint of carb. Taste is apricot, soft cherry, crabapple and wood. The sourness is nicely restrained in this one allowing the fruity vinous notes to stand out. Overall, somewhere between a cabernet and a chardonnay.

10/16/10 cloudy orange-y amber with a white head. the aroma is quite sulfuric... it fades to allow notes of patchouli, dust, chocolate peppers, pale malt and orange to show. light acetic qualities make their way in as well. the flavor is the same... well balanced tartness and very elegant. it is relatively light bodied and carbonated softly yet remains crisp. 8/3/8/4/17

Bottled, thanks pantanap! Cloudy amber, brief head. Citric nose withchalk and fruits. Mid sweet with a citric tartness underneath. Medium bodied with lightly spritzy mouthfeel. Chalky with freshening acidity and some dry white wine. Really good!

Thanks to sleestak for the pour at DLD11. Orange amber with a white head. Tart earthy cherry fruit, floral with brown sugar Tart flavors leathery with grapefruit rind. Acidic vinegar in the back of the throat. Solid. I enjoyed this one. 8/3/8/3/15

bottle. pours amber with white head. nose has tart cherries and Brett. flavors has a nice cherry brett quality with vinegar notes. mouth feel is really lacking, just flabby and lacks carbonation. rather disappointing.
