4.5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20For a beer thats not very "big" this one gets high marks. The scent is obviously piney but also a deceptive hint of sour. It has that lactic edge but stops short of sour, it is "sprucey" but very smooth and balanced and a nice copper color. I could drink several.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
750ml bottle. Dated April 22, 2009. Cloudy dark amber/orange with lots of head that takes a while to die down. Nose of burnt caramel, stale hops, a hint of wood, licorice, mint, faint acetic notes. Disjointed on the palate. Malty punch up front with a bit of sourness. Seriously lacking complexity. Some vegetal hop character with an astringent finish. Pass.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at Proof. Slightly hazy, golden pour with a fluffy white head. Aroma of funky yeast, lemons, citrus hops, and hints of sweetness. Flavor of funk, yeast spice and hoppiness. Dry tart ending.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at Proof. Pours a clear golden yellow with thin white head and light lacing. Aroma of funky Belgian yeast and fresh citrusy hops. Taste follows, a hint of peppery spice. Solid, one of the best things I’ve had from victory.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. This is a sweet and sour beer with more hopping than i expected.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A decent ale but really over priced. Similar to a tripel. Wouldn't get it again.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Orange clear pour from a bomber. Tons of head. Spicy and tasty. This was under IIPA but definatly more tripel. Decent.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
2008 bottle. Tulip pour of hazed amber yellow with two full finger head. Nose is malty, barely sour, quite spicy... Flavor is bleak, not sour... More like a lightly sour hefeweizen... Not pleasant. Bananas, clove, coriander... Not for me at all, not after I heard how sour it was
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle with Chris and Jay. Pours a cloudy amber with thick off-white head. Bottle was a couple years old so most of the hop aroma has faded but the funk has stepped up. Good barnyard funk. Time did this beer well. Really solid.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a nice orange with a frothy off white head. Lots of sour citrus notes in the nose with notes of sour oranges, grapes, and grapefruit. The taste is light malt, restrained sourness, and some subtle hops. Wish it were more something....sour, hops, malt. Balanced too well for what it is. It’s pretty decent though.
2.1 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pepper aroma and brown pour leads to almost sour taste and basic mouthfeel.
