Batch 2 Magnum, drunk 9/20/17.
Bright lemonskin yellow with softer gold and rose tints. Small white head fades to cove and there is a gentle haze to the beer with plentiful carbonation in solution.
Light sulfur up front kicks things off with a rustic flare as apricot-nectarine-peach character appears, bright and lightly juicy and very well-homogenized with the mixed culture, base malt and light wine suggestions. There's a soft vanilla-honey note hanging in the background which really softens things (not that it's overly acidic or anything) and provides depth. No alcohol or flaw.
Very interesting flavor with more malt than expected. Honey, white bread and light biscuit all provide a great backdrop to the juicy peach acid. Not overly sour, especially for SP, with fantastically tight, natural carbonation that concentrates then dispereses the acidity. Sumptuous, deep malt profiles provide a great texture, continually, while juicy acids mix with white wine and stone fruit notes to provide further complexity. This has aged magnificently and will continue to do so. A very flavorful, balanced, well-constructed sour from these masters.

Pours clear pale blonde. Small white head. Smell is rich, fruity, mild oak. Fairly complex. Light and refined yet powerful in intensity. Taste is sharp, lactic tartness in a balanced intensity. Very juicy apricot flavor, very nice quality fruits, matching in perfection, blended in just as one would prefer ( that one, being me). Fairly 'juicy' body with a low average Carbo. Lactic acid back, with fruit layering trough. Very well made.
