Tap at Afterthought. Rather awesome sourish mixed culture Saison. Almost a sour IPA tone with the hops. Pretty tasty stuff.

330 cl bottle dated Jan 12, 2019, from Orange & Brew. There is a little tartness and some horseblanket that we use to describe a not-quite-funky note of a Belgian strain of yeast. Pouring kicks up a big puffy head over a beer body that's bright gold, but impossible to see through. The taste starts with tartness, but not too much sourness. There's some cherry notes that I find with a warm ferment. But it's also quite dry. The tartness encourages sipping, but it goes down nicely. Leaves a sense of cherry juice on the lips, and cherry tartness in the aftertaste. But again, no real cherry is involved.

Bottle shared at Craft CG thanks to New Ken! It pours hazy yellow with a medium white head. The aroma is musty, earthy, apple peel, lemon sherbet, spritzy, lime and soda. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, bright, good mouth - pucker, gooseberry, limeade, spritzy feel, straw and some floral accents. Medium body and high, foamy carbonation. Fun stuff.

Bottleshare at Craft TCR. Thanks to new Ken. Light haze on this paleish gold beer, small bubbly white head. Palate is light and semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Tart lemony fruits, some sherbet, starts to get vinegar and acetic. Doesn't seem everyday to me.
