750mL bottle, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head and chunky sediments. Aroma brings out tart fuzzy peaches and some farmhouse yeast. Flavour is acidic and ascorbic, with tart faded peaches, messy yeast, and light acidity. Very yeasty, fairly tart and lacking any depth. Probably too old. Not good.

Cranberry juice in color with minimal head. Very tart raspberry, light fruity sweetness, light must, lemony, borderline vinegar but just far enough away that it doesn’t get off-putting. Thin bodied. Tart dry finish. Nice.

750 mL bottle poured, during the ASG. Thanks T! Fun try here. Glowing, bright peach tang pour with no head that lasts. A bit of a scary aroma with this. Maybe a little to wild for me, but it didn’t scare me off. The cinnamon is no secret here. It’s dominant on first sip, and has a fun, dessert like pairing with the peaches. A total spiced, sour peach pie going in. Interesting, and unique. Can honestly say I haven’t had a beer that looked, smelled, or tasted anything like this. Late lingering peaches. Not getting a whole lot of vanilla, but it’s there. Ton of funk. Very fun beer.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled in 6/2016. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a spotty lace cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of huge tart/sour passion fruit, papaya, guava, mango, melon, grapefruit, lemon, lime, green apple, white wine, hay, straw, pepper, leather, musty funk, wheat, cracker, apple cider vinegar, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, passion fruit, and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge tart/sour passion fruit, papaya, guava, mango, melon, grapefruit, lemon, lime, green apple, white wine, hay, straw, pepper, leather, musty funk, wheat, cracker, apple cider vinegar, and yeast earthiness. Moderate fruity/lactic sourness and light yeast spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of sour passion fruit, papaya, guava, mango, melon, grapefruit, lemon, lime, green apple, white wine, hay, straw, pepper, leather, musty funk, wheat, cracker, apple cider vinegar, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, passion fruit, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a nice malt/sourness balance; lightly puckering but not astringent after the finish. Moderate dryness from lactic acidity, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and and body; with a very smooth, acidic, fairly grainy/creamy, and lightly tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6.5%. Overall this is an incredible fruited sour ale! All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, passion fruit, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink, despite the strong lactic acidity/sourness and increasing dryness. Lots of Brett and Lacto funk, fairly vinegary but not overwhelming on it. A highly enjoyable offering.
