(Tap) hazy, bright amber colour with a small white head; aroma of sour candy, then jam, tamarind; sour, fruity flavour; in your face but interesting if you like sours, long medium sour finish

Draft at the source. Cloudy dark amber brown, tan head, solid lacing. Aroma of acetic summer fruit. Taste is very tart, with sour peach and apicot. Too acetic for my tastes.

Location: Draft at the brewpub, 1/23/14
Aroma: The aroma is sweet and tart, sour fruit, oak, and some vinegar
Appearance: It pours an amber color with a mid-sized beige head and average lace
Flavor: The taste is much the same, sour and a little sweet, oak notes, and an odd finish
Palate: The body is medium, it has an alright feel, and an average carbonation
Overall Impression: Thought this one was a pretty decent, though slightly flawed sour. Certainly worth trying.
