Pours a hazy darker golden colour with a small white head that sticks up the glass. Aroma is sour apple, grape, oak, light lemon and overall kinda funky but very pleasant. Flavour is sour apple, sour grapes, a nice oak touch and a little zesty lemon. Tasty sour which isn’t my usual first choice but would never turn one down. Overall a very session-able beer!

33cl bottle in a tulip. Pours crystal clear pale golden with a small white head. Lacing and retention are minimal, lots of carbonation present. Aroma is sour, spicy, wood. Initial taste is heavy sour and mild bitter with a medium sweet and mildly bitter finish. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, medium duration. Overall: A nice sour, drinkable, not too sweet. Didn’t notice the wood. Fairly straight forward, enjoyable.

I had this at Global Brew. It has a sour taste which I love. This is really good. I would definitely drink this again. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Holy sour! Wasn't quite ready for that. Tasty and smooth, but not really my taste ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle->tulip. Orange/gold with small white head. Aroma: tart and funky, with apples, cherries, and lemons, hint of vinegar. Taste: sour apples and cherries. Good.

Pouts golden, no head. Smells like sour apple. Taste is dry and sour with a touch of sweetness, some apples and wood notes. interesting stuff.

Had it out of a bottle, had a clear yellow hue, with a sweet aroma and the taste has a sour front with a dry finish.

Appearance: cloudy gold, with a frothy white head and syrupy legs. Aroma: apple cider vinegar, lemon zest, pineapple, tart white grape juice. Taste: BAM sour patch kids (lemon) without the ensuing sweetness, with notes of green apple jolly rancher, a bit of yeast, and some vinegar. Finish: lingering astringent tartness, with just a hint of honeyed, yeasty malts trying (but failing) to provide balance. Notes: This is a sour beer, to say the least. It’s very good for what it is, but it was a little sour for me. I prefer the red/brown sours to this for their malt/sweet balance, as the astringency in this beer was off the charts.

UPDATED: MAY 10, 2013 Bottle pour, pours a clear yellow with little head. Aroma is funk, acid, sweet fruit. Taste is TART! Very good and cheap sour

Just way over the top too sweet. I couldn’t find any pale. Just sweet and bitter. No hoppy accents that a pale ale should have. I had a hard time finishing this beer. Sorry, not recommended.
