759 thanks to BMan1113VR. Light aroma. Refreshing taste. Not distinctly sour by any means. Some fruity sweetness. Very much an excellent take on the small beer.

Bottle shared by Marcus. Pours med gold with a slight white head. Very mild sourish aroma. Mediumish body. Flavor is lightly sour and a bit wheaty. Finishes a hint salty. Qualifies as quite light and refreshing.

Bottle from Healthy Spirits. Pours clear beery urine withalmost no head and a light floral aroma. There is a sour pale malt flavor , a little thin, as you would expect of a small beer, yet quite tasty. A unique brew.

Bottle (batch 68). Pours with a hazy golden body with a small head that quickly fades. Aroma is lactic with plum skins, pitted fruits, stone fruit (peaches and nectarines mainly), cherry, pulots, white wine and passion fruit. Floral, perfumy with notes of honey. Flavor is lightly tart and lightly grainy with some acidity and light fruit. Lingering tropical fruit/passion fruit notes. I wish the acidity is a bit sharper (this seems like a fairly young sour). A bit thing with soft carbonation. Very easy to drink. I think I’d rather have this on a summer day than their Reserve Wheat. Dry and quenching.

City Beer Store, Telegraph Wild Ale Tasting (1/20/11). Another interesting effort from Telegraph. This is probably the best small beer that I’ve tried, but even this one still had that sorta watery feel and mild, washed out caramel flavor. That said, this beer also has some subtle notes that evince a degree of complexity not seen in most small beers. The beer has a great gentle fruitiness with notes of grapes, peaches and apples. Light caramel. Light funk. Very light tartness but an underlying sour flavor, separate from the pucker of a normal sour. This would be a very enjoyable session beer, and I hope that it manages to develop even further complexity with a brief stint in the cellar.
