I believe this was thanks to rudzud.
Pours a mild fizzy head, fades fairly quickly, hazy auburn amber color.
Nose mild strawberry, a little earthy strawberry flesh, skin and seed notes, mild funk very little, a little effervescent bubbly champagne like note with wine vinous notes, touch of farmhouse funk, earthy, mild grassy.
Taste is fairly tart, slight sour, a little earthy farmhouse funk, champagne like note with more vinous wine flavors, a touch of a toasty oak thing but very little, mild acidity and tart flemmy, with some strawberry, fresh flesh and a little green stem seed notes. Finish tart flemmy fair sour with lingering mild strawberry flavors, tart acidic flemmy notes, a little earthy funk.
Mouth is med to lighter bod, nice effervescent carb, flemmy acidic note.
Overall pretty nice, lighter bud nice strawberry, decent sour in general, light vinous barrel, pretty tasty.

I think most Almanac sours taste very similar. I do like the taste a lot, but there was something different with the strawberry. I felt like ther was a strange after taste that wasn't very pleasant. I might have let it warm too much. Either way this is a great beer, but I prefer Almanac's other offerings like Valley of Heart's Desire, Pluot, etc.

L: brownish peach
S:strawberries, a touch of the sour milk scent warm strawberries give off, hay
T: tart, unripe strawberries, red jolly rancher, hay, lemon pulp in the finish
F: medium mouth feel (the body feels like it comes from sugars), sour, with an acidic finish
O: solid. Not the most complex strawberry sour I've had, but a good beer.
