Shared by puzzl. Pours a dark amber color with no head and just some lacing. Its very hazy, cannot see through it. Aroma is barrel-butter with a weird sourness, sort of like tangerine magic marker sourness. Bot what I consider traditional brett (but also something I have noticed is similar to other American sours). Taste is weird as well, sugary (not akin to faro) with an abrasive light sourness. The sourness is not so strong, also no acidity. Not sure how much I dig it but definitely worth a try. Summary: lightly paint thinner with a sugary-sweet backbone. Mouthfeel is a bit thick and heavy for what I prefer in a beer like this.

Thanks to beastiefan2k for sharing - fizzy, dark amber beer - the aroma is equal parts tart cranberry skins and cherry sweetness, with some chocolate and warming spices - some tartness/acidity up front, but not as much as the aroma suggests - some mild earthy funk and fruit skins - a wee bit of leathery character - some red wine tannins - chocolate and a bit of sweetness arrive late, as do the cranberries - this is a really solid brew.

Thank you Alldaydrinker. The beer pours a dark ruby red color with a medium thick head. It has a funky and sour aroma. The sourness is very lambic-authentic. There is just a hint of cocoa and chocolate malts peaking through, way behind the sour and funk. The taste is not so sour, more of the cranberry coming through. The beer finishes with some tartness and light funk and a faint burst of sweet cocoa as well. It’s very easy drinking and a nice starter lambic.
Again, big thanks to Jeff, 750mL cork&wire, Rodenbach GC smaller tulip glass.

Bottle sample at a tasting. Slightly hazy golden with a white head. Hoppy aroma with some malt. Dry flavor with only a bit of malty sweetness. Finishes with a rather strong hoppy bitterness. Medium-bodied. Quite nice but not exactly true to the style.

This beer came in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a vibrant golden color with a huge yellow-white head. The aroma was sour, malty, slightly sweet and a bit industrial. The flavor was sour, tangy and bitter with a light floral hop presence.

12 oz bottle from beastiefan2k; Thanks! Nose is grainy with a little light caramel; dark gold with a medium yellowish head; flavor has hop bitterness, caramel, and some apply fruitiness, with the hops making a nice light bitter finish! Decent DH!

Gift from a friend who went to Cape Cod. Pours completely clear dark golden with a small head. Aroma is apple and macro corn with Wonder Bread, white bread aroma. Taste is similarly white bread maltiness and corn with a light herbal bitterness at the end. A light but felt mouthfeel and average carbonation. Really just a boring, uninteresting lager with no creativity or seeming purpose [for a micro brewery].
12oz bottle, St. Paul snifter/tulip glass.

A friend brought this for me from Cape Cod. Yellow-golden color, completely lucid, with a small head. Aroma is corn-y with grassy hops and white bread biscuit maltiness. Taste has NO corn (hooray) but clean lagered malt with a very nice clean, lightly mineral, very refreshing brisk flavor. Some almost apple juice faint flavor at the end to add a dimension of sweetness. Very refreshing finish and makes the beer extremely quaffable. Some above average carbonation rounds it off to add to the refreshing aspect of the beer.
Bottled on 7 122 (??? beats me..??)
12oz bottle, flute-like Grolsch glass.

My friend Artem brough this back from his trip to Cape Cod. Orange color beer. Aroma is light vegetable with past their prime fruits (cherries maybe). Taste is plain pale ale with crystal malts and a weird out of place fruit finish. Plain and boring.
