Bottle. Unclear orange body with no head. Dry sour grapes in aroma with some acid and wood. Bit sweet fruity flavour with notes of wood and acid. Medium bodied.

Aroma: wonderful, champagne winegum, sour, brett, vaguely of sweat, wheat, old hops (wonderful)... lemony, a bitter, leatherlike, sour applepeel aroma, absolutely adorable. Lactic acid, very vinous and yet unusually beery.
Appearance:stark apple juice/winegum yellow, a white rind of foam along the sides...beautfiul lacing.
Flavour: apple juice, mild, white wine... wooden, dry and quite mild. Very nice. Strange bretty/musty sour adtertaste. The one minus is that it is too watery.
Palate: no carbonation... smooth, oily, like a white wine

Appearance: Pours a hazy, still golden body with a thin, white head. Smell: The cold hard fact that this smells exactly like TheBeerCellar’s 1978 "Gas Line" Lemonade is totally indisputable. Taste: A slight upfront sweetness layered with lemons and hay. Hints of wood and salt. Plenty of vinegary acidity on the dry, pucker-inducing finish. Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Very little carbonation to speak of. Just the slightest bit oily in the mouthfeel. Drinkability: I’m tellin’ ya, "Gas Line Lemonade".

Sampled at RBSG. Not as sour as anticipated, but a nice tart bite with a ripe fruit character. Very light spiciness.

In a bottle at the Stone Sourfest...the last pour of the last bottle apparently. Pours with a medium clarity gold body and minimal head. Aroma of must and lemon. Taste is sour, vinegar and lemon. Near flat, dry mouthfeel.

Golden-orange, apricot color with virtually no head or apparent carbonation. Sour barnyard smell with sweet fruity tartness. Tart, musty barnyard with sour lactic acid impression, not much fruit. Non-carbonation works surprisingly well for this sour, interesting change from the aggressive foaming of say, a geuze with similar flavors.

bottle. pours a mostly clear pale gold straw color with pretty much no head. sharp citrus smell with lemon and grapefruit dominating, a bit of wood and a slight funky note. more of that sharp citrus in the taste, with again more lemon and grapefruit, and with some grass or straw, but also melded with a bit of honey and maybe a nutty malt note. good puckering tart finish, very dry and a bunch of sour. pretty much no carbonation, and a medium body, for a quenching feel in which bubbles play no part. i really dug the beer but for the absolute lack of carbonation. i really felt like a good bubbliness would’ve helped the beer in the finish and overall. otherwise, quite a tasty beverage.
