22oz bottle pours a murky brown with some spitty, tan head. Nose is cool, piney, grapefruit, bread crust, lightly floral, toast. Flavor is spot on, grapefruit, blood orange, a little nutty, bread crust, toast, lime-ade, pine, soap. Soapy finish. Pretty nice.

Palate cleanser thanks to Nimbleprop at Epic Sour Tasting. Black pour with good head and lacing. Citrus hops and roast malt. Medium bitter finish. Nice beer, especially nice with bitter contrast to all the sour. Thick, creamy and slighly oily consistency.

Bottle - Skunky hops and some roast. Jet black with a rich brown head. Light roast with a skunky hoppy note and a decent amount if bitterness. More hop forward than roasty but still nice.
