Bottle at Epic Sour Tasting 2014 courtesy of iphonephan, thanks! Was not expecting an Aussie beer at this tasting, whoa! hazy yellow color, medium white head. Aroma of lemony, peppery adult diapers. Taste is fruity and softly sour. From what Australian tradition does this one come? Or is it perhaps a sour/wild? Or a specialty grain?

Bottle, 12C. Clear amber with an off-white head. Funky aroma of damp hay, lemon, apricots, sour plums. Full bodied, warming, medium to low carbonation. Sweet and almost jammily fruity with both brooding and zingy funk notes. Leans a fair bit towards dry at the woody and a little spicy at the end. Feels quite rich with a finish that lifts it away at the end leaving fruity, funky, spicy oaky things to linger. Clearly builds on a few of their recent beers. All ducks in a row for this one.

Pours copper with a fading head.Nose shows heavy sweet clean malt with a faint spicy hops note underneath. That’s about it.Malty flavours too, big sweet clean malt notes with little in the way of hops. Pretty much no bitterness either. Still nice, just not at all an IPA.Nice moderately high carbonation.

A novelty from the Red Duck factory. Oops, I was holding it upside down. Very dark brown with a light tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, dark berries, oaked red wine, vanilla. Medium bodied, very silky. Tastes as it smells with creeping bitterness, lots of oak. Quite vinous, brooding. A slightly odd stemmy/ peppery note joins in at the end. Wouldn’t have minded just a little more sweetness (and body) but this is interesting and compelling.

Lots of lychee and corn syrup. The pine hops aren’t enough to offset the cloying sweetness. A disappointing effort from Red Duck.

Pours amber with a small fading head.Nose shows sweet clean malt and a faint spicy hops note. Very subtle.Same story with the flavours. Some sweet malt with cardboard notes and a cooked corn character, a bit of caramel followed by a soft spicy hops note and assertive bitterness.Could use more carbonation.A bit optimistic to call this highly hopped.

Clear gold with a few specks of white head at the rim. Aroma is woody and musty with apples, damp hay, almonds, lemon rind. 8+ Low carbonation. Sour and very woody with spiced apples and sweet hay. 7 Not quite as much complexity to the funk as in the aroma and I wish the finish were a little drier, but good and interesting.
