On draught at Bob's Bar. The beer pours a clear orange-bronze color with a medium off-white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Partial rings of lacing. Aroma of funky yeast, tart fruit, spice and malt. Medium body with flavors of tart tropical fruit, mildly funky yeast, spice and doughy malt. The finish is oaky with a fruity yeast and spice aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

(On tap @ Cinder, Philadelphia, Apr. 12/18) Pours clear dark gold with no head. Notes of citrus, tart passion fruit, flowers, berries, soft herbs and spices, slightly oxidized white wine, pine needle, pretty heavy and slightly buttery oak, soft dank hops. Balance is moderate tart through the sip, bare hint of sweetness, finish is lightly bitter with leafy quality and oak. Medium bodied, average carbonation. Good, even if it might border on addition overload and the danger of muddling flavours.

Draft at B Side. Poured a bright orange color, minor haze. Small wispy head. Not at all what I expected. Aroma is really light funky notes, some light funk. Very light tartness. Not quite sour, but this definitely approaches that. Definitely worth a look.

Tap at the Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours dark gold with a white head. Aroma is mildly tart fruits. Medium body. Flavor is slightly tart mixed fruits. Passion fruit and others. Wood is perceptible. Really good stuff. Tart fruit done very well.

Draft at As Is. Hazy orange color with a nice, foamy head. Tart and funky aroma. Fruity, some spice. Berries. Herbal and yeasty notes as well. I like it.
