Pours hazy amber into a tulip. Off-white head disappears to nothing. Lemon and heather aromas. Soft and tart with lemon and lime upfront turning to tart cherry before the lasting marshmallow finish.

This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a fairly dark hazy bronzed amber color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated pretty quickly. There wasn’t any lacing.
The smell started off with sweet lemon and then a nice big kick of the sour side of the lemon pulp moving into the tart side of the lemon.
The taste was moderately sour with an ample level of sweet and tart and a nice level of lemon.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation felt right - low enough to allow the tartness really take hold.
Overall, as an American Wild Ale, it works, big lemon goodness in this one, I’d have again.

Can shared in NH. Thanks to Paul. Pours cloudy gold with a fizzy white head. Tart citrus fruits in the nose, some lemon squash. Light sweet flavor with strong acidity, lemon, tangerine. Light bodied with spritzy carbonation. Clean and quenching on the finish, good acidity, more tart citrus. Solid.

Can from the brewery. It pours cloudy deep burnt orange with a decent white head. The nose is soft, sweet - sour, apple pie, candied pear, tangy, fruit cake, cherry and cider vinegar. The taste is crisp, tart, good mouth-pucker, lemon sherbet, sour green apple, some acidity, light cider vinegar, strawberry and earth with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Doesn’t taste like 3%. Decent.

Very small draught sample at Three Penny Taproom, 7/24/15
Though I didn’t have more than 1-2 ounces, I wanted to rate it because I was both very impressed/wanted to share and felt like I got a good handle of what was going on here, even from such a small sample. My apologies if I offend anyone by doing so.
Oud bruin-ish appearance shows good clarity, medium-auburn color and a small, moderately-retained dark beige head.
Light brett notes in the nose are mildly tart, somewhat fruity and give way to a lightly acetic backing. Soft vanilla and medium-dry caramel notes emanate from the malts, providing balance. Clean, in the sense of no harsh acid/chemical notes, nor diacetyl. Cherries, raisins and plums linger on. No alcohol, obviously.
Moderately fruity flavors of cherries and plums, with some honey and caramel through the middle ending on a moderately acetic finish, though not obnoxiously so. Light wood/balsam notes and some biscuity/grainy malt touches help provide body/structure. Tart brett notes, bright and refreshing round out the flavor and the beer manages to capture the essence of a great barreled sour, at just 3% abv. Moderate carbonation, watery/soft texture. Really impressive. Hope to try more of Hermit Thrush’s stuff.
