Sampled at the Stone Sour Fest. Aromas were somewhat tart with some grape or apple tartness. Flavors were much stronger. Wheat was evident with just a touch of wheat twang. The flavors were more acidic and fruity than the aromas. Pretty good.

Draft - Stone sourfest: Poured cloudy tangerine in color and sported but a halo of white froth. The nose was indeed wheaty with dry tangerine notes abound. The mouthfeel is highly carbonated, and i like that. The lactic sour intro has nice wheaty characteristics and nice brett notes to balance out the wheat. I also like the nice background sour boost to balance things out. What i like about this beer is the very obviousness of the fact that this is a very carefully thought out recipe and that the different components of brett, lacatobacillus, etc.work perfectly with each other...I give huge props!

Sampled at the Second Anual Stone Sour Festival on 7/20/2008. A very nice sample of a sour ale. Some tart sweet fruits.

Bottle @ Stone Sour Fest number 2. Going by the name on the Stone site, not sure if it had sour in the title. Pours orangey yellow with a bright white ring. Nose is sweet and tart. Taste is sweet and light and tart, ok, not amazing.
