yackery (142) - California, USA - JAN 11, 2013
Draught in 10oz flute. Hazy golden body under clinging head and lacing. Aroma is of ripe and sour berry with a hop bite that carries freshness of berries. Taste is, in order of experience, salt, sweet, and sour - all of equal strength. Finish is sour that lingers. Body is medium and clean to maybe a little sticky with a fruit-juice full finish. Healthy.

oRos (612) - sacramento, California, USA - FEB 23, 2013
On tap at hot city pizza. Aroma is funk and sour. The taste is really on the light side. Slight funk but not mouth puckering.

mcmd (261) - Louisville, Kentucky, USA - FEB 17, 2013
Pours amber orange with a good frothy white head. Almost no aroma whatsoever, soap and hint of lemon. Taste is grass, flowers, lemon, slightly sweet and only mildly sour with subtle funk. A bit disappointed compared to their other offerings. The sour in the name is deceiving.

NikkTwist (885) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 6, 2013
Draft at Monks. Poured a cloudy amber with a big frothy white head. Grassy. Floral. Only slightly sour. Pleasant notes of tamarind, celery, lemon thyme, kumquats, watercress, chanterelles. Bit earthy and musty. Not quite a sour. More a funky Sauvignon Blanc. May not be for everyone but I liked it more than expected.

On tap at Pangea Two Brews; thick creamy head, aroma is sour fruit, the palate kills this beer. Tasty but flat.
