| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Sep 20, 2009 Sampled during RBSG 7/10/2009 at the beer dinner. This BSA/sour (?) pours a medium orange gold color from the bottle. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is tart fruit, tropical and funky. Medium bodied. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are citrusy. Bretty, funky and tart, yet balanced with hints of pineapple, pomegranate and ... Nice balance. Good carbonation. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet. Rciesla (3617), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA

People had mixed feelings about this, I waited till I knew things were good with the lines and had it and enjoyed it quite a lot. Pours brown with a tan head. Nose is very tart, and sweet, with vinious qualities. Taste is sweet, tart, funky and WOW. Good work Steve and VB with another successful crazy beer.
