Into a wine glass
Dark brown-orange appearance, effervescent. Nose is of ripe berries, lemon peel, oak. Flavors follow, accented with subtle notes of cherry cola and toffee. Heavy suggestions of rhubarb and lemon peel toward the finish.
An absolute knock out beer. I took this out of my cellar 4 years ago and has been sitting at room temp…no negative impact.

Opaque almost neon orange, looking like a modern haze bomb but smoother and cleaner, with minimal head.
Soft peach, honey and oak are tart with a woody semi-dry swallow capping off the tingly medium body.

Wow, And I thought V015 and V016 were the pinnacle of sours. This is one of the best beers I have had. Pours orangish yellow with a foamy white head. Smells of stone fruit, malt and funk. The taste is sour with very jammy stone fruit in your face followed by some smooth vanilla / oak. The mouthfeel is light and creamy. The sourness is perfect to the extent that all the other flavors (especially the fruit) are highlighted. I do not think it gets better than this.
