Really enjoyed this one. Not quite as sour as some sour mash Pizza Boys but quite sour just the same. Found the Orange and Cinnamon to become more prominent as the beer warmed and blended very nicely with the sour taste without being too spiced.

Served on-tap at Al's of Hampden. Pours slightly hazy amber orange with a half finger tall white head, quickly dissipating down to a light film, leaving small trails of lace on the glass.
Smells like red hots candy. Tons of cinnamon dominates with the orange peel, pale toasted malt, mild lactic sourness and a dash of funky must. Taste is more balanced with the lactic sourness mixing well with the aforementioned flavors. Tart, fruity feel with a bit of chewiness backing it up.
Overall an interesting sour to say the least. It has all of the desired flavors and it remains drinkable. Not the best but far from the worst.
