On tap at Papago. Deep amber brown pour with a creamy small head. Aroma and flavor are loaded with fruit, dark cherries, pomegranate, plums, apples and cranberry sourness. Also a bit of spice, wood and alcohol on the very dry finish. Nicely balanced between sweet and sour, with both coming out at different times. Really good stuff!

Poured a deep plum color with an off-white head from the tap at Papago. Loaded with spices (most notably cinnamon), apples, and plums--much like a cider. Crisp with mild carbonation.

Tap at Pap. I was impressed. I am an outspoken fan of the Orange Blossom, and even I think this is the best beer they brew (especially now that Orange Blossom is sugar water). Aroma sets up the beer perfectly, with a round sourness of black cherries, plums, and heat. The color is a dark ruby that I have never seen equalled. Flavor is gorgeous, with the same fruits as above, wood, minimal vanilla, and no alcohol whatsoever. This is the rare beer where I say "Yeah, this actually needs to be sour." Cheers, guys. This one’s a bullseye.

Nice tulip glass...copper brown...minimal head. Slight sour grain aroma...big sour fruit flavor, with melon rind, lemon zest, oak, slight sweet notes, rich, complex. On tap at brewery.

(Draught) Pours a lightly hazy deep amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of vanilla, wood, light citrus, raisins, dates, and brown sugar. Flavor of vanilla, apricot, brown sugar, and red plums.
