3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Thin blonde pour with minimal head and slight ruddy touches of color in there. Funked oak aroma with souring apple touch with a slight chalky quality. The body is a total spectrum ranging from early sugary caramel quickly transitioning quickly to a biting souring twinge and burn. Tongue tinglingly puckering. Souring fruity echoes remain strongly on the exhale with a thinned finish. Strong physical reaction but still lacks a ton of depth. Feels like a heartburner.

As sours go, this isn’t the most complex or interesting thing in the world, but it’s tasty and pretty light drinking. Has a lemony and slightly grassy sourness to it, and a bit of mild sweetness with alcohol warmth on the back end. Like a berliner weisse that got confused about how much alcohol it was supposed to have.

Draft with Linh at kraftworks. Pours a golden body with slight haze and no lacing. Aroma is salty and vinegar sour. Mouthfeel is the selling point of this brew with standard funky sour notes in the flavor.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
9/24/10. Hazy light golden pour with a thick off-white head that’s gone fast. Huge sour aroma with huge vinegar and hints of lemon peel and tart green apples. Obvious tart flavor, a bit one dimensional, light compared to the huge vinegar aroma with a touch of alcohol and definite tannic wood in the finish. Not bad, but there’s better.

Interesting beer. Medium minus acidity - fairly light and not overpowering. Earthy hops. Light sweetness. Quite nicely balanced.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
From a 11.2oz into a snifter. Pours a very frothy pale yellow (nothing special) with a ton of fizzy head. The head dissipates after a few minutes leaving minimal lacing. Nice mild floral aroma. Mouthfeel is very fizzy; too fizzy in my opinion. Taste is very tart like a sour should be. The first taste is POWERFUL. Good floral flavor with some oak flavor as well. Very worth trying and a very solid sour.
