Bottle: Hazy amber brown hue with a fading tan head. Fruity tart aroma- acetic notes with passion fruit and cranberry. Crisp and tart body. Nice acetic character- mildly sweet, more tart fruity notes with passion fruit and raspberry like character. Mild lactic background. Finishes clean. A nice example of the style.

Bomber at PilsnerPeter’s Spring Gathering shared by MicroGrog, thanks Adam. Pours a dead looking ruby brown. Aroma is musty, musky, and dirty and lightly burnt malts. Flavor is like a sour cola with acetic qualities. Some chocolate sour cola flavors. Cool stuff, has a lightly tingling mouthfeel.

Semi clear orange amber. Smell is URINE and stinky socks. Weird sour flavor of berries and feet. Gross overall - the smell makes me want to weep it is so awful

Bottle courtesy of pastor. (joepais) Thanks man!
Pours lightly clear dark maroon with a short lived head. Smell is sour cheese and feet. Taste is equally as odd with sourness, funky, musty dirty cheese and a foot like flavor. Sweet cheese comes in as well. Unlike any Sour Ale I’ve had before, and I’m glad I didn’t have the entire bottle to myself. Very odd beer.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours a dark brown/reddish color with a short-lived Delicious sour candy aroma with loads of sour green apple, citrusy esters, a bit of cola. Huge fruity, sour candy flavors, (sour patch kids come to mind), green apples, lemon/citrus, and more COLA. I have a hard time remembering that I’m drinking "a beer" when I’m experiencing something like this--very hard not to just guzzle down in an instant. Soft, gently carbonated and velvety smooth mouthfeel. Awesome, amazingly delicious. LIQUID (SOUR) CANDY

Handbottle from brewandbbq. Pours a hazy reddish-copper color. A small, foamy, cream colored head leaves random micro-spots of lacing behind. Aromas include sour red cherries, vinous red grapes, a touch of muscat sweetness, and some red wine vinegar. The nose really opened up and became softer and less acetic as it warmed. Likewise, the flavor starts with intensely tart red cherries and grapes, with a semi-obtrusive vinegar note present throughout. As it warmed, the vinegar faded, leaving a clean, refreshingly tart, vinous flavor behind. Medium-bodied and very dry, with moderate carbonation, I found the brew to be incredibly drinkable. Very interesting, for sure. I enjoyed this quite a bit despite the vinegar notes that showed early on.
