Golden coloured body with a touch of a white head. Aroma of sour grapes, hay, yeast, coriander seed and a hint of more sour scents - nice. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive grassy and sour grape flavours at first that mellow out to a more distinct earthy and grassy herbal flavour of malt and a little bit of sweet apricot and peach flavours at the finish. Aftertaste shows some of the sour qualities, but more of a refined and slightly soured golden ale more than anything else. Overall, a decent complexity, but nothing rivaling the world class sours out there. Still, great to try and well worth trying if you can find it and you like the style(s) involved! I sampled this pint on draught at Mellow Mushroom in Denver, Colorado for US$6.00 on 08-June-2014.

Bottle. Pours clear golden with almost no head at all. Aroma is quite sour with berries and wine barrels, as well as tart canned cherries. Full body with average carbonation. Flavour is tart with yeast, as well as a rather strange combo of berries, wood and juniper, with a herby finish.

Sample at Freshcraft. This brew pours a clear yellow-gold color with a thin white head that burns away quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing on the glass. Fruit, yeast and malt in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of tart citrus, funky yeast and earthy malt. The finish is moderately tart with a lemony aftertaste. Above average overall.

Bottle thanks to Rainer. Pours a cloudy orange with small frothy white head. The aroma is citrus, brett, floral, and funk. Medium mouthfeel with strong funk, light citrus, brett and lingering dryness. Good.

Bottle @ Avery Sour Fest 2014. Pours a cloudy yellow orange appearance with an off white head. Aroma is full of weeds / dandelions / ganja with some grapefruit and pineapple. There is some lactic in the flavor (though I couldn’t detect it in the nose) along with passion fruit, guava, and kiwi. Pretty fun beer and pretty much on the same level as the other variants.

Bottle @ Avery Sour Fest 2014. Pours a milky yellow orange appearance with a fluffy white head. The aroma on this one was a bit more floral while still retaining the dank ganja and passion fruit / guava notes. Pretty juicy flavor. Lots of pineapple and passion fruit. Kind of spicy hops. Drinks pretty damn good.

Bottle @ Avery Sour Fest 2014. This probably should be classified as a Sour/Wild Ale like Red Swingline. Pours a bright, milky yellow appearance with a white head. Really juicy, potent passion fruit / pineapple aroma that is lightly dank and has a bit of lactic. Quit tart flavor. Slight ganja flavor. Pineapple, grapefruit, dandelions. Finishes pretty dry. The aroma is spectacular but I didn’t enjoy the flavor quite as much.

Bottle - Dirty cherry and funky. Cloudy brown with a beige head. Very tart sour cherry, balsamic vinegar and a dry dark sugar. Quite the hit, but nice.

Tap - lightly hazy pale straw color - nose of dandilion, lavender, honey, light pepper, jasmine tea - flavor is fairly sweet, with a fair amount of wildflower honey character - some of the jasmine tea from the nose - some dandelion - no noticeable brett, but there is some peppery spice on the tail end - finish is fairly sweet, with some heat that is hard to identify - might be alcohol, might not be - drinkable, but underwhelming.
