On tap at Pi on Delmar for SLCBW.

Pour is gorgeous. Nice slightly hazy pumpkiny orange with a big fluffy head that just sits there. Excellent lacing.

Smell is pumpking, sour apple, tiny bit of hop bitterness. Don't really get the cherry much in the nose.

Taste is pretty big on sour apple, with the pumpkin following. Some general citrus, bit of earthiness. There's the cherry. It's mild, though. My server described it as like a sour apple jolly rancher, and there's definitely some truth to it. Except, you know, better. Very accessible, not too sour. Mild on the finish. I can't believe this is 8.5%. As I was drinking it, I was thinking around 5, 6 tops.

Mouthfeel is excellent. Really nice medium-light body, pretty dry, excellent carb. Almost perfect, definitely the highlight of the beer.

An easy drinking, tasty sour. Very tasty, and mild enough on the tartness that people who don't really know or like sours could probably enjoy it.

Serving type: on-tap

Surprisingly tasty and a nice sour. Very lacey, on Orange peach body, a great picture.A little funky yeast. Orange citrus taste, the cranberry is there and its just observable. The pumpkin is in the secondary. A good pumpkin for people like me outpumpkined. December 2011 bottle. My only complaint is the cranberry should be natural cranberries and not added in j. Thanks FlandersNed.
