Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass a bit darker than exspected, brown with a huge head. Sourish aroma. Starts sourish and dry, a bit woody-moldy. Some fruity hints of lemon. Finish constant sourish, a bit boring. Good but not overwhelming.

Bottle thanks to maltomeal at August tasting. Pours a hazy amber with very quickly diminishing head. The aroma is floral and tart. Thin mouthfeel with a sour fruit and tart with a nice lingering sour finish. Easy to drink and refreshing, a very good sour ale from Alpine.

Courtesy daknole. Pours copper with tan head. The aroma emits vinegar, rotting citrus and lemon. The taste is similar with grapefruit nuanced vinegar and moving into lemon like acidity. It really dries out and puckers into the finish. Tasty sour.
