Part of a sour beer tasting and K&L Wines in Redwood City. What a great lineup for the night of eight legendary sours. Scores were recorded during the tasting but not detailed notes.

Hazy blond with quick fading head. Aroma and flavour have loads of citrusy notes especially orange pulp and zest. Nice mix of sweet and sour.

16oz can thanks to stevoj pours out pale straw topped with a fizzy head. Nose is lemon spice and some lime. Taste is more of the lemon some gin I guess and spice. Not my thing

16 oz can from Brewers Haven. Light fizzy pour, paleo golden, spritzy. Limes and juniper with some other grassy, floral elements. Fairly refreshing.

Clear golden coloured body with a super thin, barely noticeable quarter centimetre tall pure white head that is nitrogenated, but at first glance and for the first thirty seconds, looks like a large bubbled carbon-dioxide top, but it fades after seemingly a long time, but quite small for nitrogen. Aroma of sour lemons, grass, limes and barely anything else - this is focused on the citrus and light sugars as well with a very tart scent coming from the backend. Light to perhaps Medium-bodied; Strong citrusey flavours show the limes and lemons with a light rum and almost tequilla flavour with a dry grainy and herbal character and a touch of light sweetness, mainly from fruit, but also some caster sugar comes through. Aftertaste shows the tart fruits, but a solid balance of malts and a light sweetness, make this inherently drinkable, but perhaps not from a beer perspective - this almost tastes like a very watered down liqour-based drink. Overall, a decent enough beer, but nothing great and nothing coming close to what the label promised, plus the nitrogen didn't seem to work in my can and barely left a layer on top, after opening to just about no 'pop'. I'd pass this if I were to see it at a store again, especially at this price point. I sampled this 473 mL (Pint-sized can?!?) purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 23-June-2019 for US$4,29 sampled at home in Washington on 19-September-2019.

Sort of a dullish gold, with a thick nitro head. Sourish, juniper, big flowers. The aroma is quite floral as well. Better than it should be. I have no idea how this works.

Can. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and minerally crisp. Tart floral toned orange. Tangy juniper, not too spicy at all. A white wine tang runs throughout. Tart finish brings a sherbetty hit. Tart and refreshing and different. Nice.

$5.10 pint can, WW. Pours murky dirty water colored with a nitro head. Aroma is urinal cake, cracker... oh the urinal cake stands out. Flavor is what I imagine urinal cake to taste like, green grape, paper, cracker. Somewhat tart, acidic... not very good.
