Listed on the menu as a "Mouth puckering sour beer". They got that right.

So when my sampler arrived, this unobtrusive clear yellow beer with almost no head sat alongside my Prototype IPA #9 and my Orange Whip saison. Little did I know it was going to be my favorite.

Aroma was slightly sour and there was some funkiness. The sourness offset any malts, and I didn't get much of a hop profile, if there was one.

Taste... OMG is this one sour. This is what I had gone there looking for, that Sour Project didn't deliver on. It was indeed a mouth puckering tart beer. Well named.

Mouthfeel was good, if a little astringent. But I kept going back for more.

Overall, if I get back there before they run out of this one I will be getting more than 6 ounces. Worth the drive just for this (but the food is awesome too, and Sunday nights they have live Irish music. Check the website.)
