(Bottled @ChrisO’s) A bit hazy orange color, no head. Sour, peachy fruity aroma. Sour, fruity (peach, apricot), some hints of spiceyness or alcohol. Quite good imitation of lambic. Aftertaste should be more intensive.

Stone Sour Fest. Interesting sour--much more spicy than the norm. In addition to typical sour funk, has cherry and spicy pumpkin notes. Very tart. Nice beer!
