Sour ale from a bottle bought online. Medium thin but reasonably steady, egg-white, moussy head over a misty amber coloured beer with ochre hue. Complex sweet with sour aroma of passion fruit, sour cherries, strawberry pie, brown sugar, artisanal fruit yoghurt, mouldy orange, brown bread, stewed pear, old sherry, overripe gooseberry, gingerbread, peach, medlar. Sour onset, passion fruit, a ton of unripe stonefruit and redcurrant in the most literal sense of the word, lime too as if you’ve just bitten into a fresh one, insufficiently tempered with a very subtle apricot sweetishness, softish carbo, smooth honeyish and caramelly maltiness underlying this array of sourish fruits, bit sherryish too, progressing into a finish of strong drying grape-, lime- and redcurrant-like tartness, sherry vinegar-like flavours and a hint of red wine including the woody tannins, but gently so; hops are only structural, as expected from the style. Leaves a long but relatively simple acidity after swallowing with a light woody drought alongside, as if you just poured down a really dry red wine. Interesting, but enjoyed by itself, like I did just now, this seems to fall short a bit in complexity, flavour layers and finesse. It is a good thing American craft brewers try to master sour beer styles, but this is a tad too harsh and straightforward to my palate - and being Belgian, I think I have a good idea of what a good sour beer should taste like. This is a crude onslaught to the stomach and needs a lot more refinement, but in a gastronomical context e.g. paired with a very sweet dessert, I can see this function very well.

Bottle. Hazy amber liquid with small to medium off-white head. Aroma of cherries, wood, lemon, dried fruit, light vinegar and apple skin. Taste is dry and medium sour with notes of cherries, lemon, apple skin and light grain. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Nice!

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a beige head. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sour with notes of tart fruits, lemosn and straw, leading to a tart finish.

Bottle@Yesprs - Cloudy Orange pour with small white head. Aroma and taste is sour citrus fruity, tarte on the palate, fruity dry finish. Nice.

37.5 cl bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small off white head. Aroma is fruity, slight winous. Sour, wineous. Tart and dry. Citric, solid fruity and tart finish.

Bottle from Tanakaya shared at a sour tasting. Pours a brown with a tiny off-white head of foam that lingers for a bit. Oak on the nose with some light cherry aromas. Quite sour on the palate, like an aggressive Flanders red. The cherries are lost in a sea of sour and oak, but still good carbonation with a medium to full body. Finish is sour and lingers with some light vinous character. Not bad. --- Beer merged from original tick of Dogpatch Sour on 29 Aug 2017 at 22:21. Original review text: Backlog...batch 4

Thanks to willisread for sharing the bottle! Poured into a wine glass showing light caramel brown and sparse white foam. The nose shows light and barely perceivable cherries. The palate is highly carbonated and light bodied. Highly tart such that any other flavors are barely noticeable.

Hazy blood orange color. The cherries are pronounced with oak. The mouth is sour and overwhelms the cherries. Some oak is there, but sourness just dominated way too much.
