Goblet it is then! Poured a hazy, somewhat cloudy orangish brown. Very little head. Aroma was massive sour dark fruits with some woodiness. Flavor is all that and more. Super tart, dry, crisp and sour. Very reminiscent of some of the world class sour ales - this one belongs right up there with those beers.
