•Your Review- Upon first pour I was quite shocked with the color of this beer. In prior sour beers that I have had, they tend to be darker, usually have some odd coloring to them because they are usually aged in wine barrels. In this case the beer was a lighter golden yellow color that almost looked like a hazy pilsner. The smell of the beer was quite amazing in that it was a pretty normal smelling pilsner but with a large hint of sour and bitterness to it. First sip of the beer was slightly a letdown as it was not as sour as I had hoped, but after letting it sit for a while and warming up to roughly 55 degrees or so, the beer really showed its true color. This brought out the intense sourness of the beer and was quite amazing to me. This beer has now moved into my class of favorite beers and I hope I can source some more of this.
I did not have food with this beer
