Mahogany with a tan head.
Sourness in the aroma covers up anything good trying to come through.

Taste has a strong sour character. Sweet and roasty malts do come through. Fruity. Decent balance.

Some astringency to the mouthfeel.
Drinkability knocked down by the sour notes. Otherwise this one might be a decent beer.

Served as a sample at River City Ale Works. The color was a dark amber, with a slight ring of white head. The smell was tangy. The taste was a nice dry malt, with a bit of a wheatish zing to it. Mouthfeel wasn't bad. Drinkability-wise, could have a few of these.

Of all the beers I had at River City, this is the only one I'd get a growler of. A unique and tasty beer, and a shame that the others weren't this good.
