I heart deesko. On tap at 3f... Unfortunately for me this was still on tap and therefore had to make the trip out... Pours a mostly hazy peach slash orange yellow hue, looks like a wheat beer, and not topped with much of any head even upon its initial pour... Aroma of a lemon tinged beginning, slight soap on the backend with a tart refreshing sensation to it all. Pale grains come through soon after the soapy quality subsides ... Flavors were quite accurate to what I was expecting from this offering with light prickly carbonation up front that intermingles well with the wheat based brew with heavy refrehing lemony accents while finishing on a semi-dry soft pale grainy type of notion. Body is light to medium, leaning towards the latter. Easily drinkable and pretty nicely executed for the style. Enjoyed Jackie o’s second batch a touch more than this for those who need a comparison. 7/3/8/4/15

Draft. Poured cloudy orange color with a mostly diminishing white head with little lacing. Moderate sour citrus aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy sour flavor with a medium to heavy sour finish of moderate to long duration. Interesting beer.

Hazy gold pour with 1 finger head that disappates very quickly and does not return no matter how much you swirl the glass, no lacing either. Aroma is super sour with green apple, citrus tartness, and a hint of funk and grass. Awesome! Taste is very tart with cherries, a hint of wheat grain, and a vinuous champagne-like note. Body is medium, super sticky, super carbonated, but somehow finishes bone dry. Overall, this beer kicks ass. This is the first sour I’ve had from Floyds and I hope they try their hands at a few more!!

JulienHuxley (1061) - Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, CANADA - JUL 12, 2011
Glass at FFF brewpub. Light hazy gold pour with no head. Aroma of lemon, soured wheat, and yeast. Taste is lemony, some apple juice/cider caracter, quite sour. Palate is flat, medium bodied and very dry. Pretty classic take on the style for FFF.

On tap at Three Floyds last weekend. Served in a tulip. Pours a hazy light orange color with a pretty good white head that sticks around for a bit before fading, which occurs pretty quickly, as this was thin like the head on soda. The nice brings some good acidity and a bit of wheat. Good balance between the two. Some light citrus and peach. The flavor brings some nice fruit to the front atop a wheat base. Good acidity throughout. Really easy drinking and smooth. Good body with nice carbonation. Dry, acidic finish. All around, a really nice brew. Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 07-03-2011

Flat pour with zero head. Orange color with a sweet and fruity aroma. Very juice-like with a distinct sour flavor throughout. Had it without any syrup added.

spend the extra buck on a syrup (when the waitress finally comes around again). 1.8 without syrup, 3.4 with. on a hot summer day, watermelon, what else?
