Gross. Cough mixture, medicinal, rough. Spice. Body odour. Not much fun. Dusty in a bad way. Soil. Yuck

Tap at the brewery. Lemony, lacto nose with a bit of ass infection peaking through. Flavor is baby puke dishwater repugnant gag reflex infection with creamy milk and lemon on top. Undrinkable and sickening.

Tap at the source, Mosaic / Equinox version. Pours quite clear amber, not very foam, more like flat. Nose has lots of salty kettle sour characteristics, some apple skin bitterness and light funk. Taste has tartness, quite at the level that I like, some more apple-skins and some different bitter notes - which are not in a great balance, leaving somewhat rough feel to the beer. Still drinks nice, I like the overall feel of this beer. Finish is simple, dry and with some apple tannins.

Light amber color. Lots of lactic notes in the nose with stewed apricots, celery and corn, though weird and funky not bad. Light body, fairly sour with lots of lactic notes, actually not bad balance but i think the lactic becomes a bit too overwhelming (though nothing extreme) and distracts. This beer has potential and I am amazing yyg is not totally screwing up this beer. Apparently if they try to make a session IPA all hell breaks loose but give them a sour ale and they can do ok. I would like to see apricot or even ume with this beer.
