Pours a dehydrated urine color into the glass. Bubbles clinging to the sides of the glass and not really creating any head. Aroma is straw like with some funk. As you first take a sip of this beer you think "hmm this is tart." As you begin to swallow the tartness intensifies dramatically and the finish is very very tangy. A really interesting beer. I would buy again, but not often.

I always love my first experience with a new style, especially one as interesting as this. This beer pours a creamy orange color with a small bit of sediment and a pillowy white head. Small peachiness in the nose but peach is not really a strong fruit. Taste is something of a sour ale with a crisp bite on the tongue and a mouthful of carbonation. It finishes with a champagne like dryness.

Pours a light golden yellow with a tiny bit of haze to it and a small fading head. Aroma is surprisingly malty like a light lager, but maybe a bit of fruit tartness in it. Flavor Starts malty for about a split second and then bam, you get hit with the peach tartness through the finish. The tartness fades quickly in the swallow though, and the malt comes back and lingers. Light- medium bodied and refreshing, this would be a good summer sipper, but it could use a little more presence besides the tart.

12 oz bottle. Light straw, cloudy with fizzy white head. Grainy wheat aroma with some tart fruit notes. Peach and pear flavor with moderate citrusy lemmon like sourness. Fizzy mouthfeel. Finish is crisp and dry. Interesting flavor profile and a nice change on a hot summer day.

Pours a murky yellow color with a quick fading white head. Aroma is malty and grassy with just a faint hint of citrus fruit. The beer tastes very tart and tangy with lemons and peaches and a touch of wheaty malt. Very acidic and tart which masks anything else the beer may have going for it. Nice attempt at something different but this just isn’t good.

12 oz. bottle. The comparison that they make on the bottle to a Pinot Grigio is very fitting I think. A very dry beer with a sour finish is refreshing and would go great with some good food.

Bottle pours a pale straw color with a thin white head. Has a sour aroma with hints of tartness. Taste is more tart and sour than what I was expecting. Overall just an ok brew.

This was a nice tasting beer. It pours a bright golden colour with a big head. A very nice wheat aroma follwed up by peach, honey and coriander. A light silky mouthfeel with a lingering peach-apricot finish. Very pleasent :)
