Tasted on tap at the 2007 Bistro West Coast Barrel Aged Beer Festival. This sour ale pours a light yellow orange gold color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity and tart with lots of peach flavors. A medium bodied sour ale. The malts are fruity and sweet. Lots of subtle peach flavors. It fairly tart and crisp and sort of bretty, but is has a nice sweetness to it as well. Nice beer. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is fairly tart.

On draft at the Bistro’s BA Fest 07. This turned out to be in my top five favorites at aa fest filled with amazing beers. The flavors seemed so pronounced yet simple at the same time. Poured a hazy yellow color. Aroma is all peaches and brett. Somewhat sour. Strong peach notes with bretty goodness mixed in. I dare you to tell me you don’t taste a Cap’n Crunch note towards the end!

Draft at the Bistro’s West Coast BA Fest, 11/10/07, Nose is tartness, citrus, light fruit, and spices; Clear yellow gold with a medium yellow-tinged head; flavor had peppery spiciness, light peachiness, and lemony tartness. Great sour! Tart but not too much!
