Bottle at Nate Dawg’s Birthday Bash. It pours deep amber, with a thick off-white head. The nose is sour green apple, spice, yeast, dark fruit and berry. The taste is tangy green apple, caramel, touch of smoke, spice, dark fruit and berry, with a juicy, tangy finish. Medium body, average carbonation, foamy mouth-feel and good balance. Very tasty stuff.

Bottle at Kernel Brewery. Brown hazy lasting beige head. Spicy slight malt aroma. Its good i like it sourness with a sweet malt booziness. Happy to sit down with that. One of the best beers if the day. More like a flemish red sour. Bit more malt and sweetness. Really good.

Hazy white/yellowish color, like a white beer. Smells like weed and tastes spicy or herbs and again a little like a whitebeer. Doesn’t at all appear to be a winter beer to me. It’s not bad but it just doesn’t fit.

This beer had a lovely smell, however what you smell will not be what you taste. If it was, this beer would’ve scored higher.

Wenig säuerlicher, sehr hefiger Antrunk. Im Mittelteil unglaublich kräuteartig, weiterhin trocken säuerlich, nach Koriander, Harz, wenig Nelke. Dabei nimmt die Säuerlichkeit noch zu, bleibt aber eng verbunden mit den Kräuternoten, die so ebenfalls stärker erscheinen. Nach und nach würziger, soll heißen auch etwas malzig. Der Alkoholgehalt zeigt sich kaum. Zum Ende ist die Säure fast etwas penetrant, dennoch ist das Bier insgesamt gut gelungen und herrlich aromatisch. 10/9/9/9/10/9

Funky lemon and green apple aroma, not strong. MIlky yellow, thick white head. Green apple and apple core flavor, with the dreaded bandaids in the finish.
