4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
11.2oz brown glass pry-top bottle. Back label stamped "39681."
Appearance: Poured into my Maudite tulip. A hazy light amber hay color. Slight, quickly receding white head.
Nose: Apricots, peaches, kumquats, lime, sour dough, slight minerality. Also, smells like a million bucks!
Palate: Sour! Holy sour, batman! Wow, ok...medium-bodied, light to no carbonation really. Lots of sour peach, sour apricot, kumquats again, with some oxidized nuttiness in the background. There’s this toasted hazelnut/caramelized sugar underpinning beneath all this sour citrus fruit. There’s enough sweetness to keep the acid from getting out of hand, and the oaking keeps the sourness in check by drying it out a litte.
Notes: Talk about a complex beer! Wow, totally blow away by this one. I love the interplay between the nutty/oxidized sub-notes and the full-on sour apricot body. Highly recommend for fans of sour beers.

3.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Clear golden with a pale cream head. A yeasty aroma with a sour taste. Very little sweetness to it.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
11.2 oz bottle. Clear gold with a haze of white foam. Nose is lemon with faint honey and oak. Not quite light, some sparkle. Taste is lemon smoothed by vanilla oak. Dry sour finish. Well made simple sour.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours mostly clear with a thin, fleeting head.
Acetic acid aroma, stopbath! which way to the darkroom? Corn silage as well. Rotting apples.
Sweeter than the aroma would suggest.
Lots of tart sourness but there’s balance here that keeps it it out of Lambic territory.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a clear golden with a tinge of orange, small white head. Grain, green apple, cheese, biscuits, dry malt, floral hops. Not that sour, and pretty heavily carbonated. Not a very good sour in my opinion.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
2009 Peoria International Beer Fest. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Aroma is a granny smith apple scent with a pretty pungent sourness. Sour dominates the flavor and notes of apples and some mild grainy notes work their way in there as well. Beer has a light acid bite at the very end and is a very pleasant beer overall.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Pours a golden colour with a medium white head. Aroma is sour and fruity with some sweetness. I also sense the 20 month oak barrel maturing, reminds me of redvine Soft sweet/sour and fruity dry flavour. Sour dry finish. Not my kind’a beer.
