Bottle. Amber beer with an off-white head. Dusty and tart aroma with fruit. Sour and plum/apricot/pluot flavor with light sweetness. Medium bodied. Sourness and light acetic notes linger with plum/apricot/pluot.

Dark burnt orange. Hazy. Nose is light with hints of peach skin and lemonade. The taste is very distinctive. I’ve never had pluot before. The base beer again is crazy sour. So intense and just Murder on my enamel and peace of mind. Juicy honey and lime finish

Bottle - Apricot and stone fruits with some tart funk and citrus. Hazy yellow with a decent white head. Tart apricot, funky citrus notes and some barrel. Complex and not so tart that is gets lost. Very nice.

Pours a pale yellow gold color. Fairly hazy liquid. Medium-sized white head. Fades fairly quickly, leaving few bubbles behind. The aroma is big on pluots, berries and wine. There’s some oak character, but the fruity sourness is in charge. Some lemon peel. The blend of pluot, wine barrel and sourness turned out nicely. There’s some cheesy funk, maybe a little diacetyl. The flavor is tart. Tart berries, fairly juicy pluots, tart vinous note. More oak flavor, drying and a bit tannic. Some malt flavor, which is a touch odd. The cheesy funk comes out more in the finish and seems pretty buttery to me. Whatever the flavor is, I’m not a fan, and in varying degrees, it seems to pop up in most of Almanac’s sours. It gives the beer a messy feeling - whether it could clean up with time, I really don’t know. A little more body to the beer than expected. Still pretty light but there’s some lingering malt sugar in there. Pretty good sour. In the upper half of Almanac’s work in my opinion but not at the top of the list.

Bottle at Paul’s. Pours cloudy gold with white head. Nose/taste of pluot, plum, wild yeast, lemon and acid. Medium body. Sour.

Pours hazy yellow with a smooth white head. Aroma of ripe fruits, plums, honey, wood and apricot. Taste is sour, woody and ripe fruity with notes of apricot and honey. Finish is sour, tartish fruity and light bodied with some notes of wood and apricot. Quite funky sour ale.

On tap at Uber Tavern, pours a cloudy dull golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out pitted fruits, brett, oak and some tartness. Flavour brings out tart fruits, zesty fruits, oak barrels and brett. Very tart, fairly funky, and zesty. Good stuff, but nothing special.
