Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: clear yellow to glossy orange color with a quarter finger of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: peachy tart and sweet flesh & skin with some vinous to slightly oaky accents then light lemon to subtle grassy and funky tones rolling into some light Brett/sour notes
Flavor: sour to tart and underscored by the sweet with an ample extra tropical fruity addition; finishes peachy and tropical fruity with a slight funk to it
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper; light smoothness but also penetrable tart and sour lashings to the tongue as expected
Overall: a very nicely done fruited sour/tart ale I would return to.

Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: bright yellow to orange color with a subtle transparency about it and a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave a light lace
Aroma: passion fruit, coriander, sweet hay/grass, light lemon tart, sly funkiness, white grapes, and some Brett tones
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together in a great tart to sour to sweet character with a semi-dry finish of the passion fruit and white grapes
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper, smooth along the tongue, light tart/Brett stabbing the tongue as I expected it to
Overall: nicely done sour/tart fruit ale worth coming back to.

Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: bright yellow to slightly orange color with a thin cap of a little white foamy head which dissipated and left a little bit of concave lace
Aroma: some oily/danky hops up front with some apricot, mango and peachy scents with some lemon tones; slight funk and sweet vinous accents
Flavor: marries the prior noted aromas to a great tart to sour and subtly sweet character; finishes apricot to mango and peachy with some hop oils
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper. Light smoothness but also some tart/sour aggression on the tongue
Overall: nicely done fruited sour ale well worthy of returning to

Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: dark pink to red color with a quickly dissipating semi-foamy to slightly fizzy head which barely left any lace
Aroma: dark sweet and tart cherry flesh and skin with some orange tones and sour dark berry sort of backing; light funk and slight acidic to vinous tones
Flavor: sour and tart blends with the prior noted aromas while the sweet stablizes the underneath; finishes with the cherry tart and sweet accents
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper! Light smoothness but also light tart aggression to the tongue
Overall: nicely done cherry sour ale well worth my time and worthy of returning to.

Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: cloudy golden yellow color with a quarter finger of white foamy head which slipped off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: white grapes, gooseberries, grapefruits, vanilla and peaches, light notes of extra citrusy tones and sweet grass with subtle funk
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine tart to sour and an underscore of sweetness; finishes grapefruity/peachy/gooseberry and vanilla-like.
Texture: medium bodied, surely a sipper, some smoothness along the tongue but also a brisk tart assertiveness (seems way more restrained than a lot of their other sour ales, but that's okay, nothing to worry about as Almanac is just trying something different)
Overall: I say a nicely done pastry sour ale worthy of being a dessert beer if I could come back to it

Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: golden copper color with a quarter finger of white foamy head which settled fairly quick to leave some spotty yet somewhat sliding lace
Aroma: bright red raspberry tart and sweet qualities; subtle lactic but also light Brett, sly vinous further underneath with an even lighter lemony pop to it
Flavor: marries the prior noted aromas to a fine tart to sweet to subtle sour quality; finishes with the raspberries and lacto vibes
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper; nice enough tart aggression as expected onto my tongue
Overall: nicely done raspberry sour ale worthy of seeking again.
