Canned 6/16/16; drank 8/16/16 @ the Yarchives.

See-through orange appearance.

A violent pour yielded a huge white head; nice, frothy lace.

Lemon, pineapple & cane sugar notes in the nose.

Medium thin mouthfeel.

Tart lemon & pineapple flavors up front; a bruising-ly sour finish.

Fruity but ultimately punishing; for true sour-heads only.

Sour, sweet, cactusy...love this beer. 10 bing-bongs for 4 12oz cans is a bit steep but so refreshing...

Reviewed from notes. Poured from a 12 oz. can into a Cycle Brewing goblet.

A: Mildly hazy light gold – actually surprisingly clear, though a slight haze persists. A big blush of initial visible carbonation dies very quickly, as does the briefest of small white heads. After a few seconds, it more resembles a still beer or a cider – nothing moving.

S: At least when cold, this is disappointing. Only a very slight aroma overall. After working at it, there’s a mild lactic tart and a husky cracker two-row malt. That’s all I’m getting, at least for now. We’ll let it warm some… Nope. Even when close to room temperature, that seems to be all there is.

T: Modest lemony lactic and citric tartness, not particularly acidic. Pale two-row malts again, though not quite as husky as the nose suggested. More lemony citric acid drying it out at the end.

M: A light body, and while a relatively low level of carbonation sensation it's not as flat as the appearance suggested. Minimal alcohol presence.

O: It’s not a terrible beer. The flavors are decent, and while I’m gonna quibble a bit with the husky aromas/flavors, it’s not something uncommon to run into with quite a few American sours. There’s no funk to speak of – again, it would be a better beer if it did, but it’s not awful that it doesn’t. But there are no peaches. Maybe just a hint of “Ah, there're notes of stone fruits in this sour” kinda thing, but no real “peach” flavors that I was hoping for. Fou Foune, this is not. If you gave this as a blind taster, I think it would fare better without those expectations. But as it is, it’s just a let down.

It pours a nice light yellow with a small head that leaves quickly leaving no sign that it was ever there. The smell is tart with a small scent of mango. The taste is a good lip puckering tart fruity flavor. Usually I am not a fan of sours or tart taste but this was actually pleasant. The feel is light but not watery. Overall a surprising nice one.

I'm in a wild mood, but sour always takes a bit of puckering up practice.

It pours light yellow with minimal head. The aroma is a bit of a warning- it smells like dangerous cider. The taste is a much more over-the-top sour than I expected, but I can man up and enjoy.

Recommended as a novelty, but it is a very poor value (overpriced).

Pours a beautiful clear, pale yellow gold with a fat finger of white head and a slow effervescence. The head is very quick to dissipate into a thin crown, but before that it is an absolutely gorgeous beer.

It has a lightly sour, barnyard-like aroma, with more of a white peach skin and underripe peach flesh thing going on than a juicy peach flesh impression. There's a hint of pancake or crepe malt behind that, too. Pretty nice balance, which is something I don't often notice in the nose.

Dull sour, funky taste up front; very weak earthy hops mid-palate; and then a really nice burst of peachy juiciness on the backend. Moderately tart aftertaste.

Medium bodied with decent carbonation that leaves a slight prickliness in the feel.

Not an insane amount of depth here, but a really pleasant, easy-drinking, mild sour that exceeded my expectations. Lot 0817, if that means anything to anybody.
