22oz bottle sampled at the DC Epic Sour Tasting 2014. Pours a hazy gold with some spitty, white head. Nose is a nice blend of tropical fruit, straw, pineapple, a hint of medicine cabinet, a little cleaning solution. Flavor is tart, lemony, a little cleaning solution, rotting fruit, heavy dried citrus peel, some soap, some herb. Oily finish.

Poured a cloudy yellow-orange color with a wispy head. Aroma was sweet light fruit notes. Funky flavors, light pear or something? Yeast character.

22oz bottle in a sampling glass. Super hazy orange amber. Aroma is astringent alcohol malt. Some esters, basically what is usually bad for barleywines. Same with flavor, lots if orange fruit and alcohol. I used to be able to handle this but not anymore.
