5oz draft pour at the 2016 YOX anniversary party at Old Ox. Poured a ruby-purple color with a small pink head. Blueberries, lemon, tart sour notes. Lots of fresh berry character, red wine. Wow, pretty solid sour beer from these guys. Really impressed.

Sample at Industry Night at HomeBrewCon. I can’t read my notes for some of these, so I’m faking it.

A good citrus infusion here, with some light pepper elements. Pours hazy golden with good head and lacing. Light tangy finish. Good balance, and easy to drink. Cask at Churchkey.

On tap at Big Hunt pours a very murky, purple with some frothy, white head. Looks like a blueberry milkshake kind of. Nose is solid, blue and black berries, some yogurt, lactic acid, Vitamin C, lemon juice. Flavor follows right along, a touch of sweetness, under ripened berry, blackberry, yogurt, lemon, Vitamin C. Tart but very drinkable too. ABV feels right and may take off some edge. Very well done.
