This easy drinking NW style sour ale was aged in rum barrels for 20 months with tangerine zest, then blended with our Apricot Ale. Sweet aromas of tangerine and rum are the first thing you notice as you draw your glass near. A quenching sweet citrus, then rum spice take turns dancing on your palate. Rich rum spice and warmth lead to a lingering sweet tangerine finish like warn sand. Most rum beers only go to 10, ours goes to 11!

From tap at Cascade Barrel House, Portland. 2015 vintage. Aroma is fairly complex with a lot of zesty citrus peel on the front, mandarin, tangerine, apricot, oak, vanilla. Flavour is big sour flavour, nicely puckering sour. Body is medium. Big zesty citrus peel complemented by soft Bourbon vanilla with a strong puckering sour flavour, really good!

2015 bottle. Pour hazy blood orange into a tulip. White head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Apricot and funk aromas. Sharp and tart with tangerine and apricot upfront turning to lactic peel and pith in the dry, medium length finish.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Yaron's place. Hazy orange. Bourbon, oxidation, tangerine, vanilla, wood, sour and a bit sweetish, a bit acidic, vinegar, medium-bodied, a bit of alcohol. Nice.

Bottle. Thanks Mark! Great aroma, tangerine, citrus, light spice. Something medicinal. Taste is great, loads of fruit, nice spritz, sweetness, no sense of the booze, sherbert, later on, get some booze, rum. Great.

Sampled at Billie's Craft Beer Fest 2017 - day 2. Clear golden pour with a thin off-white head. Notes of mould, citrus, old barrel, light vanilla, oranges and massive amounts of wood notes. Really complex, beautiful beer.
