Hazy orange and brown appearance, chunky, mild head. Aroma was bready, lacking hops or sourness (not really this style's MO though) had kind of a bad fruitcake type of vibe to the aroma.
Carbonation seemed lacking. Lots of flavor characteristics, like a big spice rack was dumped into the batch. Every kind of fruit and spice. Or maybe it is simply a function of the yeast that is used, or a combination of all of this. If something can be too complex, I guess this would be it. Not bad, but not a beer style I can say I am a fan of in any context, so take this review for what it is worth.
For a brewery well known for its hops and sours, this one seems like a malgamation of everything else besides those two things they are famous for.

At the brewery in Santa Rosa. Had hope for this as I haven’t had a beer of this style for many years. But it was a bit plain and subdued, like a watered down Saison.

I loved this beer! It was a great example of balance and restraint in a beer. Not too hoppy, very smooth and session-able. The yeast is front and center and it’s great. Clear as a bell , see through and on the medium brown color spectrum. 6.25 ABV

July 27th, 2015 - Four more beers left in the orchestra of beer samplers left, and this one is the perdition. Dark and brown but with a solid clarity it looks like a brown ale, and smells of cherry notes, both tangy and tart. But the flavor has a touch of cough medicine on a flat body. Acidic and low and simple, it's not today's star.
