koleminer20	4 Backacre Sour Golden Ale: Blend 7 From notes. Somehow this drinking session evaded my developments. Enjoyed at Doug’s house on October 28. 750 mL bottle, Blend #7. The pour is a darker clear gold color with a thin and bubbly white head that doesn’t leave any lace as it disappears. The aroma is good. There is a bright sour right up front that is lovely. The barnyard and funkiness come through in the back end and it’s just kind of bretty. The flavor is a little sweeter. There is a light funk, some barnyard dustiness, and a decent lemon zest to it. It’s interesting. The mouth feel is light and clean with a touch of syrupy tendency and a brighter carbonation with a lingeringly tart and funky finish. Not too bad. Thursday, February 2, 2017
Beerman6686	4 Backacre Sour Golden Ale (Blend not Specified / Unkwown) Poured a darker gden color with a white head. Aroma was of light apple skins, must, brett, lemon juice, fruity. Flavor similar, pretty clean, really nice veer, weird that this is their only beer, but it’s a good one. Wednesday, January 11, 2017
thepatrickman	4 Backacre Sour Golden Ale: Blend 8 Blend #8. Delightful interpretation of a classic, blended Belgian sour ale. There’s a good amount of barnyard funk in the aroma and flavor, as well as a moderate sour bite, and the combination is fantastic. Excellent, ambitious beer from one of Vermont’s really hidden gems. Tuesday, December 6, 2016
tapefuzz	3.9 Backacre Sour Golden Ale: Blend 7 750mL bottle. Batch 07. Pours hazy gold with a small, quickly-dissipating white head. Aroma is yeast funk, oak, and green apple. Taste is white grapes, green apple, lactic acid, brett, brine, earth, hints of lemon, and vinegar. A tad strong on the vinegar, especially towards the finish, giving it an odd but pleasant character - vinegar feels closer to that of a sour red than your usual wild or gueuze. Dry finish. Body is on the lighter side of medium. Carbonation is medium bordering on lively. Crisp mouthfeel. Sunday, October 30, 2016
ludhaber	4.6 Backacre Sour Golden Ale (Blend not Specified / Unkwown) This beer is an excellent sour. Clean crisp, there’s not many sours out, they are hard to make. This is well worth the cost. Support the craft behind this brew. Sunday, May 29, 2016
MrOrla	3.2 Backacre Sour Golden Ale (Blend not Specified / Unkwown) Bottle. Poues hazy golden. Aroma of sour, light vinegar, light bubblegum, light sesam, burnt notes. Taste is rather popcorn, Brett, light vinegar, sesam. Very one dimensional sourness. A fail attempt. Friday, April 1, 2016

PhatB420	3.6 Backacre Sour Golden Ale (Blend not Specified / Unkwown) Giant bottle into a tumbler, pours a dandelion gold. Minimal fizzy white head dissapears fast, no lacing. Green apple in aroma and taste, fresh and tart on the pallate, quite fizzy and frontal on the back end. 7.3% slides right in, the tartness stands alone. Enjoyable through and through.

SlovakSniper	3.7 Backacre Sour Golden Ale (Blend not Specified / Unkwown) (Dégustation avec kzeon et yourilevesque. Merci à Alex pour cette chance! Version à 7.3%) La robe doree et embrouillée montre un col mousseux qui ne résiste pas. Ses parfums de fruits à noyau, de légère acidité, de yaourt, de poussière de campagne et de chêne sont loin d’être déplaisants. Ses saveurs délicates de fruits aigres, de foin, de funk doux et de chêne flattent mes papilles. Son corps de moyenne densité montre une texture crémeuse et un jeu actif des bulles. La finale est aigre-douce, sans agressivité, voire même facile. Sunday, December 20, 2015
yourilevesque	3.6 Backacre Sour Golden Ale (Blend not Specified / Unkwown) Merci à Alexandre pour le partage! Bière d’allure noble et riche, dorée et moyennement mousseuse. Un nez de Brettanomyces où le fruit prend des allures de pommes vertes. Une grande quantité de bulles en bouche qui me descendent dans l’estomac où elles poursuivent efficacement leur travail. Surette, funky et sauvage, je note encore un important côté fruité. Les levures, l’effervescence et le fruit me rappellent les bières produites avec des levures champenoises. De longueur et densité moyennes, elle pourrait en effet facilement passer pour une Belge. Saturday, December 19, 2015

markextrae	3.9 Backacre Sour Golden Ale (Blend not Specified / Unkwown) bottle shared by a friend. poured a very clear golden colour with a thin white head on top. as it starts to warm there’s a clear dried peach notice, apricots, and stone fruit pits. wheats, and crisp malts, sparkly carbonation and not that much sour tart notes to detect. taste follows to nose, again not that tart. but there’s a good amount of funk, oak, and ofcourse apricots. enjoyable beer Saturday, November 28, 2015
corby112	3.7 Backacre Sour Golden Ale (Blend not Specified / Unkwown) Thanks to koopa for sharing. Pours a very hazy, dark golden yellow color with a one finger, frothy white head that quickly settles into a lasting ring. Streaks of spotty lacing left behind. Musty, earthy aroma with subtle brine and lactic funk character along with earthy barrel notes and sweet stone fruits. Decent barnyard/funky bug presence with lacto, citrus acidity and dry oak along with some peach and light vinous notes. Medium bodied with a stronger barrel presnce than expected. Slightly briny with some lactic funk, musty cobweb and a decent amount of acetic acid yet never becomes harsh or solvent like. Sour and acidic but not overwhelmingly so with puckering funk and subtle salty flavors. Somewhat like a saison/farmhouse and wild ale hybrid with subtle spice and musty funk followed by toasted oak, wild bugs, citrus acidity and a lingering acetic, slight vinegar-like presence in the finish. Fortunately, there is nice balance and the farmhouse characteristics aren’t completely overpowered. Tart and puckering but not harsh at all, remaining delicate and easy to drink. This beer didn’t completely blow me away but it’s a solid first offering from these guys. Thursday, November 12, 2015
drsandman	4.2 Backacre Sour Golden Ale (Blend not Specified / Unkwown) Pours a pretty pale gold, thin white head. Aroma is oak, white grape, apple, champagne, faint lacto. Flavor is dry crisp oaky grape, Apple, lemon, tart. Quite nice. Saturday, October 24, 2015

wedgie9	4.5 Backacre Sour Golden Ale (Blend not Specified / Unkwown) Tasted on 10/15/14, my 30th birthday! Big thanks to Alex for finding this one in Vermont for me. Pours very light, clear pale yellow with a thick white head that slowly recedes to a thick collar and spotty lace. The nose is incredibly complex with a bunch of funk and earth, a touch of oak, some citrus pith tartness, floral pitted fruit, amazing. The flavor is not as intense in any facet, but super balanced and delicious with all of the same earthy, funky, tart, and fruity complexity, with a bit more oaky malt than the nose. The body is just under medium with average but smooth carbonation and a long complex finish that starts off mostly tart, moving to the funk, and featuring the light oak for quite some time.

Medium-bodied, with moderate carbonation and a balance of sweet and tart. Dry, herbal finish. Good beer. Tuesday, December 9, 2014
