11.2oz bottle from MrChopin - thanks, Kevin! Pale amber pour, crisp carbonation like a cider. Soft green apple nose with a bit of oak and just a touch of sweetness. The carbonation gives the beer some character, as the mostly tart flavors seem to wake up a bit with the modest dry hops that are brought out. Pretty decent, a nice refresher.

Bottle.
Pours a nice, glassy cheddar orange with a striking aroma of soured lemon and cherry (redundant?). Slight sour honey presence, too. Flavor is nice and tart lemon cherry dessert, with a nice finish of a soured oak. Lingering on the tongue. Great sour!
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
33 cl bottle, Fargo, ND, USA. Slighlty hazy orange tinged golden colour. Single stream of carbonation in the middle of the glass. Citrus and ginger aroma; massively sour first sip that has a lime-like reaction in the mouth. A bit of a challenge, but after settling in very interesting.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
11.2 oz bottle (Thanks to Jess). Not too bad here, but I do find this one a bit unexciting even though it is a stronger sour. The aroma is mostly mixed sour mild-sweet fruits with apples and berries, minor cheesy bread, and a bit of oak. The pour was pretty. A nice creamy, soapy white head, good retention and lacing, and a light, sharp looking orange-gold body. Maybe slightly too acidic with just a twinge too much cheesy yeast, the sour profile is definitely a main player on the taste, but its not overdone. Also, some oaky earth, light mixed berries, and bread. Overall, I liked this, but definitely not my favorite sour.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
11 oz bottle courtesy of Dakine, thanks. Pours a cloudy amber-gold color with a small white head that soon recedes to a frothy film. The aroma is funky with brett, sour grapes and some light citrus. The taste is lightly sour with citrus dominating, but also present is oak, sour grapes and hay. The palate is silky smooth with lively carbonation. The finish is medium in duration and dry. Overall: A very well crafted sour, good for those days when you want something lighter than red poppy.
