On draft at Outer Banks Brewing Station. Pours a hazy straw with a white head. Aroma of white concord grapes. Flavors are tart and vinous. A bit one dimensional but decent.

On tap at Flying Saucer - Raleigh, pours a clear pale blonde with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out plenty yogurty lacto notes upfront, with subdued grape skins. Flavour is pronounced on the grape, tasting a bit like Concord grape juice, with just subtle sweetness, a touch of lacto and some grape skins. Pleasant enough, but lacking much depth. Alright.

Straightforward sour ale, a hefty swath of tart citric acidity coupled with a gentle concord grape sweetness and a musty, moderately sour finish. Easy to drink, even if the carbonation’s a tad soft. Citrus nose with a hint of soy and grape. Nothing spectacular, but enjoyable.
