A:
It pours clear gold with a finger of short-lived white head. Meh retention; no lacing. (3.75)
S:
Really thin, sharp, acetic twang, green stone fruit as well as some peach sweetness and some earthiness as it warms up a little. (4)
T:
Follows the nose. Sharply sour, lemony, mild vinegar, nothing much in the way of fruit here, though, and just a tiny bit of funkiness to smooth it out. (3.75)
M:
Thin with active carbonation, twangy tingle, very dry. (3.75)
O:
A pretty enjoyable sour.
It pours very nice for a fairly old sour (in my book at least), clear with an okay head. The aroma and flavor are very sour. The smell features a little of the fruit character but the flavor does not. I would imagine they were fairly strong when fresh but who knows. It is easier to drink as you go, but is pretty sharp at first. Not bad at all. Take this all with a grain of salt. I have a hell of a time writing about sours... (3.75)

Good to see more adventurous beers from these guys. This had a light sourness and also light but still present peach/apricot flavour. Somewhat dry mouthfeel.

Bought a 500ml bottle from the Strath liquor store on Douglas st. in Victoria.
A bit of peach, apricot and white wine with a punch of oak and sourness. Funky, tart and, if you were to taste blindly, just as good as most Belgian lambic. Damn near perfect balance of flavours. A real treasure and makes me proud to be Canadian!
