Bistro Barrel Aged Fest 09. Amesome beer, one of the best of the fest. Intense solventy aroma that really works well somehow. Yeasty and spicy with floral hops. Flavor is awesome - intense tartness, red wine, berries, sweet malt, oak, and spices. Acidic and very lively on the palate with medium body. High drinkability for a sour ale. Good baseball player too.

Tap at the Bistro BA Fest. Pours hazy amber with a few bubbles. Wonderful sour aroma. Medium minus body with little carbonation. Flavor is sour, bretty, paint thinner. Finishes that way. It’s a f***in wonderful drink. Unique.

Tap at Stone Sour Fest today. this was one sour beer, and I can’t think that its really anything resembling a triple whatsoever anymore. Pours orange with a bright white ring. Nose is tart. Taste is sweet and very very very tart.

On tap at the Stone Sourfest. Pours with a hazy golden body and a small white head. Aroma is floral with brett and belgian candi. Taste is sour, candi sugar, vinous, vinegar and floral. Medium to light carbonation and dry. I think I like it!

Stone Sour Fest: Sweet ass name for a beer. Floral, bretty nose with powdered sugars notes...rose petals come to mind. hazed orange colored beer.Sour & somewhat sugary, mostly clean but with some hints of grains here and there. the middle is somewhat hallow though. all in all though, i seemed to have enjoyed it.

(Draught) Pours a cloudy amber body with a small white head. Aroma of leather, barnyard, mustiness, and florals. Flavor of vinegar, brett, orange, candi sugar, and some oak.

On tap at Bistro Barrell Aged Fest. This reddish amber ale poured with a decent beige head and a fruit aroma. There is a very pleasant sour apple flavor with lots of oak and, of course, brett. It has a very winey feel to it.
