On tap at Vermont tap house, Williston Vermont.
The appearance was a nice hazy burnt orange color with a bar pour’s kind of slim white head that dissipated immediately and left no lacing.
The smell started off with tropical fruits sliding into a light little bit of tea. Sour green apple backs it all up in one package to round out.
The taste was mainly sour with a fairly decent tart behind it. Tea definitely comes across a bit more with a relaxing Jasmine quality about. There’s a dry sour aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs good for the style and for me. Tart to sourness hits my tongue pretty nicely.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good sour ale. Jasmine tea is there but just lighter in the aroma.

Draft at the source. It pours hazy orange with a small white head. The nose is soft, juicy, orange, peach, nectarine, earth, lemon sherbet and light funk. The taste is crisp, tart, juicy orange, nectarine, peach, marmalade and sherbet with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. So much juicy orange. Pretty delicious stuff.
