Tasted on tap at the 4th Annual Stone Sour Fest on 7/18/2010. This sour ale pours a light to medium orange gold color from the tap. Little to no head. The aroma is funky, musty, tart and funky. A medium bodied gueuze/sour ale. The malts are fruity, tart, funky, sour and musty. Little to no carbonation. Funky and tart. Nice beer, but I wish it had a little more carbonation. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly tart.

NorCal tasting Feb 07 - I found myself strangely attracted to this beer. While it didn't have the refinement of a Duchesse De Borgogne or a Rodenback Grand Cru, it still maintained a vinegary, lactic attitude in the nose and palate. The subtle berries aroma and taste was also easily detectable which helped balance things out and not overpower the "sourness" of the beer. A nice job stateside of one my favorite styles around. Good stuff.
