Sampled from the tap at ABR 2017. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has dry white wine grapes with grass and grains note supporting. Flavor has more tartness with the same dry wine grapes, grass and a light funky grain underlying.

Bottle split at CBC Islo, thanks to JK, 04/10/16. Hazed golden orange with a decent off white covering. Nose is tangy orange, wooded tones, vanill, funk, pissy. Taste comprises tangy citric rinds, lactic tang, funk, pissoi, on the turn melon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a tarte citric edge. Nice easy drinking well balanced sour.

Bottle thanks to JK. It pours cloudy pale orange with a medium, bubbly white head. The aroma is funky, musty, barnyard, brett, nectarine, spoiled peach, gooseberry and grapeskin. The taste is crisp, dry, rather tart, lemon sherbet, bright acidity, gooseberry, pretty vinous, good mouth - pucker, funky, musty earthy brett, grapefruit and light vanilla accents. Medium body and fine carbonation. Bright and tart. Rather tasty stuff.

Bottle shared at the JK Tasting - Craft Beer Co., Islington. Many thanks to man himself, JK! Pours unclear gold with a white froth topping. Nice aroma, with touches of lemon and peach. Light sweet flavour with strong acidity, lemony notes, light rindy touches. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Lightly drying to finish, somewhat pithy, with more quenching acidity, lemon juice. Really solid.

Cask at the CBC Islington for the jk tasting. Many thanks to to JK for this one. A a translucent peach, orange coloured pour with a small white head. Aroma is funky sour apricot, caramac, vanilla peach. Flavour is composed of super sour pithy sour lemon, lemon rind, bready wheaty grains, tangy orange, peach. Palate is super puckering sour, pithy, highish carbonation and a uber dry finish. Lingering raw grains. Good stuff.

Not much as far as color, yellow and clear. Lots of flavors, oak, some wine and one of the moat sour beers from fair state so far. Lots of yeast. Giving some vinegar character. Very good.
