On tap at the brewery. Awesome hazy orange color with a white head that fades to a ring. Tart, funky aroma with hints of cherries and citrus. Flavor is sour right off the bat with hints of citrus, leading into a sweet, oaky, cherry finish that was crisp and begged you to drink more. Riverside hit it on the dot when he said it was like drinking a sour warhead, but in the best way possible. Great beer.

Draft. Thank you joey big times! Orange body citrus sour funk and apple vinegar. A really good sour pucker ale.

22 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy golden orange color with a thin white head. The aroma is very citrusy and there is an almost earthy overtone to it. The flavor is very complex. There is the huge sourness that has a very sugary/sweet side to balance it out a touch. It really reminds me of sour patch kids. Very fruity, sweet, sugary, and tart. This is excellent!

Huge thanks to thejoeshow for sharing this very hard to find gem! Pours a beautiful cloudy opaque woody unfiltered apple cider hue. Nice tart acidic green apple, rasberry, cherry, oaky tannins, and once a gain a sugary sweet sour candy like tearjerkers. The palate is delightfully tart, but well balanced with huge lemon, green and red apples, definate cider vinegar as well. The palate hangs for awhile and screams oak and tart acidity! this beer is amazing!

At the Brewery. Poured a peach color. Aroma of sugar, apricot and sourness. Tastes starts very sour and dispates quickly.
