Tastes more sour than your typical biere de garde. Apricot, lime. Pours clear golden with ok head and lacing. Finishes quite tart. Minus a few marks because it's definitely off style. I guess it's pretty old as well. Bottle thanks to nimbleprop at DC beer share.

0.75l bottle from Beergium, shared with David, Sima & Pier. Aroma is vinous, funky, stone fruity and woody. Pours cloudy golden color with thin creamy white head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts tart vinous and citrusy, following is overripe tropical and stone fruity with smooth mouthfeel and sour finish. Medium to full body, slick texture and fizzy carbonation in palate. Super tart & super tasty…

Can from Beergium. Hoppy aroma with fruity and herbal hops, grass, citrus, some pine, onions, and orange. Flavour is a bit sweetish with a bitter finish. Body is medium. West Coast IPA base with strong herbal Mosaic and Simcoe, oniony, a bit of an acquired taste I suppose. Flavour is solid, I like this.

bottle aroma: fruits, yeasts, dough. flavor us style sour beer sourness, citrussy, hard to find the apricot but perhaps a bit of oranges and sweet grapefruit, the US style sour beer flavor dominates, the fruit adds an extra level and some complexity. Pretty fine sour overall, base beer is a great US sour to begin with, fruits doesn't destroy it.
