GABF 2014. Pours a pretty clear golden appearance with an off white head. Super dank and resiny nose. Some lemon, oak, straw, tropical fruits in the mouth. Juicy and delicious. Quite fun.

Notes from Sour & Bitter Festival at The Trappist. Aroma is super hop forward with a ton of tropical fruit - pineapple, mango, guava and melon are all rather prevalent. Some medium light citrus and light acidic notes. Brett seems to accentuate the pineapple and tropical fruit notes. Pours a cloudy, pale yellow gold with a thin white head that displays good retention and lacing. Faint legs. Flavor has a lot of pineapple and guava fruit notes with some generic tropical fruit character as well. medium light acidity and medium light citrus notes. Low bitterness with low oak and oak tannins, Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a really nice hoppy sour beer and definitely my favorite offering from the Rare Barrel so far. Kegs seem to have some variation as my friend who was there said this keg was much better than the previous pour he had of this beer elsewhere. So much tropical fruit.

On tap at The Bruery Anniversary Party and on tap at the Berkeley Tasting Room. Easily my favorite beer from them so far, and my favorite dry hopped sour. Brilliantly clear yellow hued body with a moderate white head. Aromas bursting with tropical fruit, citra, earthy and tropical funk, lactic sourness, a hint of oak. Flavors are puckering and brightly grassy and tropical. Elegant sourness. Stone fruit, mango and some resin. Medium carbonation, and dry. Better than Le Terroir by a good bit. Absolutely excellent.

Tap. Pours hazy butterscotch, small white head, bubbly, some lacing. Aroma is citrus, dank pine needles, oak, cut grass, touch of funk, Brett. Flavor is light sweet, light tart, bretty, cheesy funk, citrus, quite odd. Medium body. I am not sure what to make of this one; its kind of off by itself and I don’t know whether I want another or a glass of water. Re rate. Much better. Dry hopped sours rule.

Draught @ Mikkeller Bar, San Francisco

Pours golden orange with a smooth white head. Aroma of tart fruits, wood, bretta, citrus and hops. Taste is smooth, mildly sour with some mild bretta, tart citrusy fruits and hops. Finish is tart fruity, hoppy and mildly sourish with some wood, vinegar and yeast. Quite interesting and refreshing sour.

On draught at City Beer Store. Pours a cloudy golden color with a medium white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of tart fruit, malt and oak. Light to medium body with flavors of funky citrus, oak and malt. The finish is moderately tart with an oak and citrus aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Mild haze orange peachy with apricot oak and grape skins. Very much a saison with a huge peach as sour apple taste. Not too sour, but I’m feeling the heartburn. Sweet finish. Fruits galore
