Exultation (10%)
Ginger and Lime (10%)
Speculation (10%)
4th Anniversary (10%)

L: Muddled and muddy medium orange with a burnt hue to the color; the head is small and bubbly and, like most of its kind, doesn't care to linger
S: Sour (obviously) with a hint of funk and acidity; fruit notes vary from strawberry to sharp citrus to something like apricot with oak and definite hints of brett
T: Brett up front with the fruits, similar in profile to the aroma, with oak lingering underneath adding some tannins to the acidic sharpness that maintains steadily; a touch of vanilla rounds that out and it's moderately sour overall, sitting at a median as far as the array of sours on the market today
F: Sharp, not lacking smoothness but with a definite bite in a medium-ish body; plenty of carb without overt spritziness
