On tap at Jester King during RBWG. Pours a dark brown with a small off white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is a roasted malt and chocolate. Medium mouthfeel with a sour malt and roast. Easy to drink, a very good Sour ale.

Slow gusher. Light hazy orange with a big and lasting off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty and rather hoppy - peach and grapefruit. Flavor is quite sweet and very bitter. Rather dry and very bitter finish. Could have used a little more sweetness for balance. 240212

Location: 750 ml bottle from Whole Foods-Lamar (Austin), 2/20/12
Aroma: On first whiff, there is a big tropical/citrus aroma; however, that seems to go away rather quickly, and the aroma that remains is bread, yeast, malts, and a little bit of citrus (nose/taste are border-line 7/8s)
Appearance: The pours is a hazy orange color with a small, lasting white head and spotty lacing
Flavor: Tastes mildly sweet, with hops, bread, yeast, citrus and floral notes leading to a fairly bitter finish
Palate: Medium bodied, it has a smooth and somewhat creamy feel, with a subtle tingle and a dry finish
Overall Impression: I was fairly excited to see this one in the store. After I had the opportunity to try the Black Metal last year, I was rather interested in sampling something else from this brewery, and I'm always happy when that something is a RyePA. Anyway, while I thought this was a pretty good beer, it wasn't as good when compared to the style as that RIS I had last year. I still enjoyed it though.

Location: Draft at Flying Saucer Austin, 2/18/12
Aroma: The nose is citrus, spice, some funk, yeast, lemon, and banana
Appearance: This one pours a slightly cloudy golden-orange, bright white head
Flavor: The taste is a decent mix of light sweetness and yeasty tartness
Palate: The body is fairly light, and it has a long tingly and tart finish on the tongue
Overall Impression: This was a pretty interesting beer. I was happy to see what was attempted. It wasn't amazing, but it was certainly interesting.

Black with a small tan head. Weak aroma dominated by green apple, with a bit of licorice and soy sauce. Sweet, roasted flavour, thin and sugary at the same time. Ashy aftertaste

Slightly gushing. Amber with a huge white head. Lots of chunks. Aroma of lime peel and tangerine, with spicy-chalky yeast character. Dry and clean, refreshing citrus flavour with interesting spicy notes, more than a just a little saison character in this particular bottle.
