Bottle thanks to John. Pours a hazy orange gold with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is citrus, floral, and oak. Thin body, citrus, honey, light oak, nice tartness, very good.

Draught at the Return of the Belgian Beer Fest, 9/17/16.
Pale, flaxen-gold body, again, with a light haziness and a med-sized, lemon-speckled white head with moderate retention.
Big citrus and sour acids in the nose show a good brightness and blend of lactic and light acetic notes. Finishes with strong lime-like brett notes and a grainy-to-biscuity maltiness replete with light honey and graham cracker. Don’t get much of the honey or honey fermentation character, but this thing seems pretty citrusy and sour, so that’s probably why. No alcohol or flaw.
Round, well-carbonated and fairly well-balanced between the soft malt, honey and souring acids. Maybe tends towards the sour end of the spectrum, but I think the texture is comforting enough, with vanilla-honey, graham cracker graininess and tons of bright citrus character. Lots of fresh, juicy pulp character from the oranges. Not overly complex or funky, but a very well-done American sour, nonetheless.
