Reviewed from notes. Consumed on 07/10/2017.
On tap at Foam Brewers.
Appearance: glossy semi-burnt orange color with no head and no lace
Aroma: peaches, pears and apricot fleshy sweet with a good tart skin-like tone to each of those fruits
Flavor: tart to sweet to sour through the prior noted aromas; finishes peachy tart with some sour fruity toned quality
Texture: medium bodied; leaning towards being a sipper; subtle smoothness; light yet noticeable sour semi-harshness to clamp down on the tongue
Overall: a very nicely sour ale very worthy of having again.

Tap. Pours hazy golden orange, small white head, dissipates slowly, some lacing. Aroma is dusty, peaches and skins, apricot, hints of earthiness. Flavor is light tart, stonefruit, peach skins, lemon. Lightly funky, oak tannins. Medium body, low carbonation. Excellent.

Tap into a teku showing moderately filtered orange with no head. The nose shows tart notes of bretty funk and stone fruit. The palate is light bodied and well carbonated. Moderately tart with flavors of tart apricot and light peach.
