75 cl bottle @ home, bottled 10/2014
Aroma has ripe apricot, some bretta tones and orange juice. Flavour has orange juice, some bretta, apricot and mild tartness in the finish. Easy-going bretta-ale but nothing special.

Harry Kane. Really good sour. Love these.

Sample glass at Growler Garage, South Burlington, VT.
The appearance was a hazy burnt red color with a quickly dissipating barely there white cap of a head. Bar pour, rating adjust appropriately.
The smell started off with some sweet apples roaming into a sly bitter to semi-sour lemon. Fresh tart green apples slide in for the balance.
The taste was sour with touches of sweet, bitter and tart through the previously mentioned flavors. A semi-sour apple aftertaste leads into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable feel to it. Carbonation runs fairly light. Sour hits on my tongue appropriately.
Overall, I’d say this was a really nice American Wild ale really taking in the sweeter side some AWA’s are afraid to lean towards.

19/VII/15 - 75cl bottle @ Velootje (Gent) - BB (or bottled?): IX/2010 (2015-945) Thanks to Alengrin for sharing the bottle!

Clear orange beer, creamy yellowish head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: bit oxidized, malty, some orange peel, very aged. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: soft sourish start, bit lemony, cardboard, oxidized. Aftertaste: lemony touch, bitter, bit dusty, funky. Looks like that brett didn't get a chance to do much over the years. Pasteurised? No fermentable sugars left? Who shall tell...

Bottle - Nice funky stone fruit. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Sweet stone fruit and a long sweet candy peach finish. Light, sweet and some mellow tartness.

Strong sour ale with loose, unstable, off-white head and hazy orange colour. Very estery, lightly funky and vinous aroma of lime, redcurrant, sherry, wet hay, tomato, apricot, white wine, leater, tobacco, horseblanket. Very vididly fruity taste, immediately sourish but with sweetness for balance, peach, sour berries, lemon and pineapple suggestions, also lactic acidity (sour cream), smooth caramelly malt basis, bit honeyish, very vinous finish with some warming alcohol, drying acidity and delicious woody tannins, but some glue-like solvents as well. Could have been more complex, but still very good for an American sour ale.

Bottle bought in SF in February 2014. (vintage 2013) Hazy amber with a small head. Vinous aroma of fruit, wood, light funk, yeast and red berries. Similar taste. Also oak and light caramel. Well done and nicely dinkable.

Draft at Churchkey. Poured a clear ruby yellow color with a small white head. Aroma is light pepper, straw, some light fruits, with notes of strawberries. Flavor is nice berry, with some tartness, light oak, vanilla. Very mellow, highly drinkable.
