Storm was doing their “lambic” in the 90s, long before anybody else in North America was making sours. Before La Folie, before New Glarus. So this is a legit throwback.

Hazy amber. Aroma of lambic and peach. Taste is slightly acetic sour base. Lots of fruit though again I’m perceiving this more as peach and sour pineapple. Passionfruit only in the finish. Quite tart. Decent.

Cask days 2011.
Good amber pour, small rocky bubbly head. Nice pine, and citrus hops, a little bit of bready malts. Clean finish, big bitter finish, with a big dose of resinous pine.

473mL can. Pours dark brown with moderate beige head. Aroma has strong nutmeg and eggnog underneath. Flavour has again, a dominant nutmeg character, slightly chemical, coffee and vanilla. Weirdly bitter. Not great.

473mL can. Pours clear gold with small white head. Aroma has apple cider vinegar, some citric fruit. Flavour has a ton of apple cider vinegar, some citric tropical fruit, and maybe a bit of dry oak. If I ever wondered what a 7% apple cider vinegar tasted like, I now know the answer.

473mL can, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma is juicy, with lots of juicy passion fruit, a touch of oak, and light citric tartness. Flavour is highly vinegary / acetic, citrusy passionfruit, and a touch of oak. Haha, a lambic? Not even close. It's not even a good regular BA sour ale; pretty good fruit drinking vinegar though.

Flight pour at Biercraft. Pours murky yellow with white head. Aroma is pretty light, some pineapple juice. Flavour has a ton of pineapple juice, some fresh grass. One-note and fairly uninteresting.

Poured from 473mL can. Hazed golden orange with small off white head. Juicy citrus nose, damp malt body that hides the hops a bit. Average, underwhelming.

750mL bottle. Pours murky amber with white head. Aroma is pretty light; notes of blackberry and oak. Flavour is very acidic; some unripe blackberry. Very rough; not very good.
