Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma has a light acidity with quite a bit of cinnamon. Light vanilla notes and faint peach with light tropical fruit. Reminds me of a fruity snickerdoodle cookie. Pours a cloudy, bright, yellow gold with a small white head that recedes quickly to the edges where it lingers. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor has a medium light acidity. Some more peach character than in the aroma. Less cinnamon, but still quite a bit. Rather faint vanilla. Some medium light citrus notes with some light tropical fruit. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer but the cinnamon character is a bit strong. Lots of tropical fruit but not much peach. Almost no vanilla at all.

Notes from Sour & Bitter Festival at The Trappist. Aroma is super hop forward with a ton of tropical fruit - pineapple, mango, guava and melon are all rather prevalent. Some medium light citrus and light acidic notes. Brett seems to accentuate the pineapple and tropical fruit notes. Pours a cloudy, pale yellow gold with a thin white head that displays good retention and lacing. Faint legs. Flavor has a lot of pineapple and guava fruit notes with some generic tropical fruit character as well. medium light acidity and medium light citrus notes. Low bitterness with low oak and oak tannins, Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a really nice hoppy sour beer and definitely my favorite offering from the Rare Barrel so far. Kegs seem to have some variation as my friend who was there said this keg was much better than the previous pour he had of this beer elsewhere. So much tropical fruit.
