Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: semi-dark burnt orange to copper color with a thin white semi-foamy to fizzy head which quickly died off and didn't leave any lace
Aroma: semi-sweet to tart blood oranges - slightly pulpy; then sly grassy hop spiciness with a touch of Belgian yeastiness
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together fairly sweet yet spicy and a touch of tart & sour aspects as well; light aftertaste of the blood oranges
Texture: light to medium bodied; between sessionable and being a sipper; not exactly smooth along the tongue - enough tart/sour harshness; finishes with the blood oranges tart to sour to subtly sweet character
Overall: fairly nice blood orange sour ale, I believe I could come back to.

Canned 3/9/22, drunk 8/21/22. Heavily hazy, orange juice-copper. Medium, off-white head. Juicy lactic acid and earthy blood orange with cracker-like malts and good cleanliness. Nothing too crazy but a fine kettle sour. Juicy and lactic notes, lightly fruity and peppery with soft, well-attenuated malts. Good fruit, not too punchy lactic acid. Not super exciting, but well-done for a kettle sour.

Pint can, WW. Murky pinkish orange (there has to be an official name for this color) with a large off-white head. Orange, sweat, sour nose. Flavor is sour orange, metallic notes, green grasses, bread crust. Sour just to be sour, pretty standard, not really interesting.

Lol at Chelsea. The gaffer. Rare days drinking immediately after getting up.

Can from BD Inverurie. It pours hazy rich orange with a dissipating white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, loads of tangy blood orange, kumquat, sherbert, marmalade and a touch of pomegranate. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, puckering, very juicy, loads of tangy blood orange, kumquat, marmalade, just a hint of acidity, sherbet and sour candy with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Balanced, juicy and moreish. I mean there are plenty of sours out there with more depth, but this really works as is.Tasty stuff.
