Feb 2, 2008 One of few beers I got to try 3 times at GABF 2007. Served at the 21st Amendment table. Bitter, dry, with a light body but full of flavor. Nice tartness, fruit flavoring and some nice skunkiness. This would be a great summer beer in hot humid Texas. Please bottle this!!!!

Dec 20, 2007 Sample at GABF 2007. This was a real treat. Earthy, wet horse blanket yeasty aroma. I’m smelling the tartness, but little watermelon. Flavor has rounds of fruitiness washed over by a serious sour tartness, but not an objectional battery acid at all. Very drinkable to this non-Brett fan.

Nov 25, 2007 GABF 2007. Pours a mostly hazy, goldenrod yellow color with a small head of wispy white. Intriguing combination of fresh juicy watermelon combined with some earthy oak and a tight acidity. Light bodied, crisply acidic mouthfeel with a gentle carbonation. Excellent watermelon flavor with a hint of oak. A mild level of funky acidity comes through on the backend, adding complexity and dryness, but staying restrained enough in the background to allow the watermelon flavor to remain at the forefront of the palate. As a sour ale, I would like to see this with more acidity and funk, but as a fruit beer, this rocks. It’s got a great fruit flavor, wonderfully dry finish, and has a level of acidity that keeps it interesting but still makes it possible to enjoy as a sessionable beer.

Oct 30, 2007 GABF 2007: Poured a light yellow color. This actually smells and tastes like watermelon. Great sour component. Get the tartness but not crazy funk. I like this beer a good bit. Refreshing with the sourness. It would be amazing if it stunk.
