750ml bottle (c&c).2017 bottling. Pours a clear 24k gold color with a smallish white head that soon disappears. The aroma is big with fresh peaches, vanilla and some brett. The taste is sour peaches, light smoke, vanilla and oak. The palate is medium. Finishes long and sour/tart with a trace of smoke. Overall: This is a very sour beer, and a very nice one. I would have liked more smoke character--but that's a minor complaint.

On tap at Bear Naked Growler, Montpelier, VT.
Poured into a tulip.
Appearance: dark amber in color, no head, no lace
Aroma: sweet & tart cranberries, floral character, sweet & tart pomegranates
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a sweet to tangy to light spicy and sour to tart quality; finishes with a tangy sour to tart cranberry & pomegranate note
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper! Some smoothness but also an ample amount of tart and sour aggression
Overall: a very nicely done sour/wild ale with the fruits acting more as additions.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: copper color with a light transparency about it. A finger's worth of white foamy head which slid off nicely but barely left any lace
Aroma: coriander, grapefruit zest, basil, and slightly sour-ed wheat
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a semi-savory to herbal and sweet and tart and a note of salt to a well rounded character; finishes with the grapefruit zest, basil and a pinch of salt
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning to being sessionable, some smoothness and the tart & sour factors are fairly tame
Overall: very nicely fruited sour/tart ale very worthy of returning to if possible.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark red with some light purple hues in the center and a thin foamy to almost fizzy head slid off and didn't leave any lace
Aroma: blueberry and lemon verbana sweet and tart character
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a tart, sour and sweet vibe as a little bit of that lacto/yogurty taste slides in underneath; finishes tart, sweet & sour
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning to being a sipper; light smoothness and some sour to tart harshness shows it's aggression
Overall: more of fruited sour ale here and a worthy one of returning to if I could.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: ruddy red color with a sly transparency closer to the sides of the glass with a finger's worth of pink foamy head which slid off at a decent pace to slightly quick. No lace was left.
Aroma: rose flowers, red cherry sweetness and tartness, & sweet barrel woodiness
Flavor: sweet and vinous but with an oaky vibe; finishes floral, dry and cherry tart & sweet
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper, some smoothness but also nice dryness and the sour-ness is somewhat restrained
Overall: nicely done fruited sour/tart ale I'd return to if I could.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: copper color with a thin cap of a little white foamy head which dissipated inward and didn't leave any lace
Aroma: green apple, red apple, woody/oak barrel, touch of vanilla, then cinnamon and at the end the sour aspect chimes in
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to tart quality; finishes with the mix of apples with a great level of sour
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning to being sessionable as plenty of smoothness envelopes the tongue and the tart and sour becomes nondescript
Overall: baked apple sour! Well it certainly is and very worthy of returning to if I could.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark orange close to amber color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely but barely left any lace
Aroma: sweet and tart plums, subtle berry sweet and tart character, then some herbal tea
Flavor: tart to sweet character of the plums, more like black tea here than in the aroma; finishes with the plums and the sweet and tart vibes of those berries
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning to being a sipper, some tart vibes hitting the tongue but I think those tea qualities helped smooth out the tart aggression
Overall: nicely done fruited tart ale I could have again.
