Another super tart fruited wild ale from Side Project. This one shares a lot in common with Fuzzy. Expressive aromas of apricot, yellow peach, lemon candy, sweet floral, and honey. Flavors are mostly lemon warheads with a bit of apricot and pale malts around the edges. Clean and tart

L: Pours a very strong pale orange yellow with no head and no lacing on the glass.
S: A nice toasted oak leads off, followed by a nice hint of Brett, some nice apricot and notes of sour tartness, very nice aroma.
T: A strong Brett and apricot mixes with lots of sour and tart, and a nice strong toasted oak. Amazing golden sour.
F: Smooth medium body and good carbonation.
O: This is a world class golden sour ale.

Appearance - The beer was the color of an apricot. It was golden orange with some red hues. Carbonation was visible.
Smell - The apricot seemed dry in the nose, but you could easily can detect a funk of a saison.
Taste - At the front, the apricots were quite sour. It really tingled the sides of the tongue. There was an undercurrent of fruit sweetness. Toward the back, the funk of the saison came through and provides a sense of balance.
Mouthfeel - The body was vicious, almost like an actual fruit smoothie.
Overall - I can definitely appreciate a saison like this.
