Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a golden yellow color with a finger’s worth of swiftly dissipating foamy white head. Not much lace, and what there was, slid into the glass.
The aroma had some soft sweet orange pulp, somewhat juicy and blending upon some rind-like portions to some dry woody edges. Some citrus zest concurs with ginger to play fairly nice in the final arrangement.
The flavor took the previously mentioned aromas to blend sourly edged with some zestiness, light tart and a touch of sweet. Light spice from the ginger accompanies some light bitter. Aftertaste blends the sour to the bitter with a little bit of pucker. Finish was basically the same.
The feel was almost medium bodied with a good sipping quality about it. Despite the assumed sessionable sort of feel from the ABV, this is not to be gulped. Carbonation felt good.
Overall, nicely done sour ale by one of Vermont’s finest breweries for this style.
