American style blonde sour ale by this brewery in San Diego, a collab with another one and apparently a blend of different batches; 75 cl bottle from Geers. Snow white, mousy, foamy but irregular and quickly opening head dissolving completely, hazy golden blonde robe with somewhat khaki-like tinge and swirls of visible sparkling throughout. Fruity, quite focused and mildly funky nose: yellow plums, dry white wine, grape skin, damp straw, wild apples, sherry vinegar, ripe gooseberry, lemon juice, egg yolk, cooked rhubarb, old dried lime peel, touch soap, kefir, wet vanilla-scented oak wood. Acidic onset, very lemony – and in this case not only in sourness, but also in actual flavour, in a quite elegant and refreshing way, mingled with impressions of unripe nectarine, green plum, gooseberry, lime and sour white grape; fizzy carbonation, strong and drying lactic tartness cutting in a ‘white yoghurt’-like way through the fruity esters and slick white-bready, supple malt backbone. Lovely vanilla-ish oakiness in the end, tannic in a ‘blank’ and pure kind of way, adding a rustic quality to an otherwise still enthusiastically fizzing sour ale. Ends almost like a very dry sparkling wine with a lemon peel-like hoppy touch to it and restrained earthiness. Highly refined and elegant within this style, more so than I was even hoping for really – not overly harshly acidic like many other American sours, nor overly dirty or yeasty, but remaining composed, lean and bright. Beautiful.

Bottle sample at a tasting at zvikar's place. Thanks Stas & zvikar. Reddish brown. Berries, funk, a bit of vanilla, oak, sour, somewhat acidic, some caramel, a bit lemony, medium-bodied. Really good.

I feel like I've had this bottle forever. Gnarly yeast cake, sweet and super tart cherrys all up in funkville.

Inky purple color with tons of boysenberry cake, bourbon, oak in the nose. Tons of nail polish, boysenberry, bourbon in the finish. Extremely tart, but I loved the fruit and barrel character. Tartness burns as it goes down. I actually like this a lot, but can see how this would be polarizing.

Very nice hazy

Smooth, hoppy and fruity. Cloudy.
