Bottle. Pours bronze with lots of fizzy off white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma is a great blend of white grapes, sherry, lemon, and barnyard funk. Flavor is a fantastic blend of dry notes (old cheese, horse blanket) and sour notes (sour orange, vinegar, white grapes). The finish starts sour with a moderate stickiness with the funk balancing it out by the end. Light body with plenty of soft carbonation. Not overly sour, not overly dry, but everything is there and done quite well.

Clear golden with a huge, mega frothy, white head. The aroma is acidic, like apple cider vinegar, with slight yeast and a sour feel. Good malt in the flavor, but the acidic quality is just too overbearing. Very faint wood on the finish. I didn’t find this too be too enjoyable, but I’m not a big fan of sours.

330 ml bottle from a trade with hobbersr. pours clear golden with a white head that lingers and laces. nose of vinous wood, tart, sour. the flavour is tart and sour but completely supported by the pale malt. quite wood forward but hella drinkable. great sour, the type i could drink everyday.

The beer pours a light yellow color with a white head. The aroma is very tart with vanilla and oak notes. The flavor is tart lemons with some oak. The beer is extremely dry and makes you keep drinking it. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. An excellent, budget sour.

Overall I am pretty disappointed with this brew. It is a sour that is decent but overall the flavor is pretty weak. The color is light brown with no head. Flavor is sour but nothing else. Still not bad.

From a bottle poured a golden color with a good amount of head. Nice tart flavor with a lasting aftertaste.

This one is in my top 3 desert island beers. The sour flavor profile balances well with the semi-malty mid palate and clean dry finish. The sour flavors are of chalky lemon, and sour peaches. excellent beer

Pours a golden amber color with a nice white soapy head. Has an aroma of lemon, citrus, and funk. Has a very well balanced taste. Sweet and tart on the front end. Dry clean finish. Some grape and cider notes. Some hidden bitter. The carbonation hits you at the perfect moment. This is a good sour.
