Bottle shared during the satellite Travlr 10K tasting at CBC Clerkenwell - London. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. The aroma holds tangy citrus and honey. Medium sweet flavor with rich sour fruits, strong acetic burn, booze, light raspberry. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sharp sour finish with some salty sweat, a mix of acetic and booze burn, nips of acetone, some old berries, wood. Aggressive. Not very well balanced; unrefined. Lacks class and grace.

Bottle thanks to Thomas. It pours cloudy orange with a small white head. The nose is big wood, earth, musty, damp oak, leaf, vanilla and marshmallow. The taste is crisp, tart, kumquat, orange peel, tangerine, sherbet, light acidity, wood, good mouth-pucker and white wine with a crisp, tart finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Pretty delicious, but the acidity gets to you after a while.

On tap at RealTail 2012. Pours a cloudy orange with a medium frothy off white head. The aroma is a strong tart and sour fruit with light vanila malt. Hides alcohol well making it easy to drink, a very impressive sour ale from Freetail.

Bottle thanks to Dallas, another cool beer! Pours a hazy blonde color with a medium white head. A sour fruity nose, some vinous barrel notes and herbal elements. The flavor is nice: sweet blonde ale; some tart sawdust; sweet apricot; big straw/malt. Good, well made.

Bottle shared by someone at the 2011 Kuhnhenn Winter Solstice. Poured a near clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of breet with a light tartness, tropical fruit and a bit of backing vanilla. Flavor starts with citrus and tart fruit and finishes with light dry funk and a hint of funk.

Bottle shared by t0rino. Pours with a hazed golden body and a white head. Aromas of apple juice, caramel, some bready malts, light citrus. Flavors of cinnamon, biscuit, bready, apple juice, light lactic acid. Chamomile. Medium bubbles, somewhat sweet, medium bodied. Not much character to be honest.
