GABF 2007. Clear yellow body with some hazy newss. Excellent sour nose with hints of peaches. Barnyard funk with a little peach fruit in there. Very sour and well worth several revolutions to the New Belgium stand.

Jul 22, 2008 Draft @ Uber. Clear amber with a frothy head. Nice woody aroma with some sour and mild fruit aromas. Lively busy mouthfeel. Taste is same as the aroma with tart peach skin, some wood and funky yeast. This one’s only mild to moderately tart/acidic front to back, unlike NB’s other sour ales. Good beer.

Jul 21, 2008 Tap at Toronado, listed as Eric’s Ale. Color is orange amber. Head is small and white. Smells like a triple - sweet malt, spice and light stone fruit. The flavor is slightly sour light stone fruit. Finish is mildly astringent. Body is frim and carbonation is ild. It is extremely pleasant to drink.

Jul 20, 2008 Tap at City beer. This is a kind of sour beer that I can handle. Pours wiht a very nice looking peachy yellow color, nice fruity aroams and great flavors of tart fruit, not necessarily peach. Very solid body and nice not too sour finish

Jul 18, 2008 On tap at Luka’s in Oakland. Pours a chill hazed yellow with a small, off-white head. Aroma is tart with a bit of peach. Taste is a bit of bitter white peach and tart sourness. Mouthfeel and even taste has a lot of champagne like qualities. Light lively bubbles.

Jul 10, 2008 Aroma was the traditional sour brettanyces aroma with a very, very low hoppiness. Appearance was a moderately clear deep golden with a pure white head. Flavor was a moderately sour taste with light tones of peach. The sour was quite dominant in the beginning but then wanned in favor of the peach. palate was of course, very sour and "puckery." Overall, ok. Not as full-boddied and in-your-face sour as I as hoped but still good. Relatively light; good for a light, refreshing sour ale.
