Had this at the source in June 2014. Pours a golden yellow color familiar to most style of beer, 1/4" white head. Pretty cool mix of dry hopping giving lots of fruity citrus notes familiar to ipas and a puckering sour quality that comes in stronger than your average wild ale.
Taste is familiar to the usual base beer of Rare Barrel sour blondes, but the use of dry hopping totally gives it a new spin on an otherwise common similarity to their base blonde beer. Lots of lemon sour notes. Doesn't push the beer as a sour ipa, its really just the aroma that the hops come out, they aren't there as much in the mouth feel, thankfully. Zesty and well carbonated on tap. Its super enjoyable and easy to drink. The only thing that would keep me from crushing multiples of these is the amped up sourness and acidity, but man, 10oz of it sure does work. Bring your antacid. I do appreciate the abv not being all imperialized on this one.

On tap at the brewery.
Golden orange color.
The hops show in this beer. It is juicy hoppy. Citrusy. More funk shows in this one. Fairly dry. Lots of lemon juice and peel.
Decent, but not a fan of the hops and sour mix. Still someone drinkable.
