Thanks to eclectic for this one!
This one pours a foggy peach and straw color that's very clear around the edges. The head is a soft fluffy white.
Smells of dry cranberry and tart green apple with a touch of dry oak. There's also a touch of cork to this. Beneath is a subtle cocktail of soft pie crust and almost nutmeg along with a hint of barn yard funk.
Tastes of a similar cranberry, apple, oak and cork. The balance here is lovely. The way these tart and funky flavors just seem to float around on their own is really impressive.
Feels soft, smooth and tingly leaving my mouth with a sour snap.
This one's pretty outstanding. The drinkability for an assertive sour beer here is off the charts.

Listed as a "Golden Sour Ale" it's exactly that! Gorgeous golden coloring, effervescent, lively, bubbly; like a champagne.
The aromas are strong Apple with hints of pear. Sour and sweet.
Big juicy Apple sweetness with a sour airy finish the carbonation plays into the taste and feel. The bubbles dance on the tongue and lift the Apple taste and finish with a light airyness. It's inherent in the style to produce such carbonation so it is understandable that it may detract from the overall experience.
