Tap at the brewpub. Light brown, tiny head. Quite a funky aroma, soft spicing from the rye, and some grass, with some lactic notes. A tad thin, and watery, soft carb. Finish is tart, with a lactic funkiness, with alot of tangy fruit, and subtle spices. Odd beer.

Nice light Belgian sour. Like a flander’s blonde if there was such thing. Pours blonde with good lacing and head. Some sour cherries and some crab apple. Nice finish, light sour. Soft carbonation on tap. Strong rye notes even out the sourness here. Nice light sour. On tap at Brewpub.

(Draught at brewpub, Aug 31 2013) Pours a clear pale yellow with the barest head of white bubbles, no lace. Aroma is sour-tart, lemon juice, some grainy notes in the background as it warmed. Flavour is clean sour-tart lemon juice up front, light but bracing acidity (slightly lactic?). In the late part of the palate the rye kicks in, grainy and slightly bready and peppery, cutting a lot of the sourness out. Kind of a tale of two beers, really. Carb is soft but the body quite light, perhaps too watery rather than crisp. I’m glad I tried it, but also just as a taster, because I like a bit more complexity in my sours and I don’t think I would’ve enjoyed a whole pint of this
