Poured an apricots color with a 3F head in a Mikasa tulip.
Nice aroma, citrus and Brett balanced.
The MF is not overdone for the style. Mellow, prounounced acerbity,
Pleasant but out of balance.
Excellent taste. Citrus and Brett meld together. More pleasurable than other beers in the style.
Drinkable and well- defined.
Overall, an excellent wild Ale with lots of character.

Pours mildly hazy pale orange with a fizzy white head. Aromas of candied orange, Brett, and some hay. Flavored of sour orange, sweet tarts, and hints of hops.

Poured a murky gold color with one finger of head that disappeared quickly. Smells tart with a citrus undertone. Definitely sour tasting! The orange comes out a little at the end. Good mouthfeel, what you'd expect from a sour ale. I will try each version of this they put out.

Pours a hazy medium dark Amber color with off-white head. Brett, citrus fruit, and some tartness on the nose; follows onto the palate. Finishes tart and dry with some lingering fruit notes.

Solid sour. Not sure I could tell its a wit with all of the Brett in there, but quite good nonetheless.
