COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A blonde sour ale made with a few of our favorite things. Sweet, floral and exploding with sour flavor, this ancient ale was born in Venlo, named in Düsseldorf, adopted by Vienna and reenvissioned by our brewers to capture to essence of Austria. Bold, crisp and majestic as the Alps, this wild sour ale sings upon the hilltops.

cheap (7939) - Land of Taxes, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 25, 2020
UPDATED: DEC 25, 2020 Tall skinny 12 oz can from daughter for christmas. My label says its whiskers on kittens. Nasty looking cat on the label, for a kitten that is. I'm afraid it will bite my fingers off and then scratch my face. Looking forward to this, I love wild beers. Wild mild nose Pour is clear pale with a rapidly fading head. Taste is very good, upfront its quite tart and enjoyable. It follows up with a slight processed feel but the processed feel does not distract from the overall experience. Processed feel tends to fade in the middle and it becomes a little more acceptable as the session continues. Not bad overall, thanks Val! Good overall beer tasting experience.

UPDATED: MAY 16, 2020 Bottle. Tart lemony citrus aroma with notes of flora, lacto and a bit of grapefruit. Pours cloudy, pale golden colored with a thin white head that has no retention a no lacing. Starts with tart lemon and floral flavors as well as having a lively mouthfeel. Finishes quite dry and tart with grapefruit and lacto flavors as well as a touch too much acidity. Pretty good, but really tart.

superspak (9600) - Greensboro, North Carolina, USA - JUN 30, 2019
UPDATED: JUN 30, 2019 12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 2/27/2019. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with solid retention, that reduces to a thin ring of lace. Light spotty lacing on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tart/sour lemon, lime, orange, peach, plum, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, oak, hay, straw, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of oaken vanilla, peppercorn, leathery/musty/lacto funk, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, moderate oak, and pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big tart/sour lemon, lime, orange, peach, plum, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, oak, hay, straw, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of oaken vanilla, peppercorn, leathery/musty/lacto funk, and yeast/oak earthiness. Light-moderate lactic tart/sourness, Brett tang, and light yeast/oak tannin spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart lemon, lime, orange, peach, plum, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, oak, hay, straw, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light vanilla/pepper/funk, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, moderate oak, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with an awesome malt/tart/sourness, and yeast/oak spiciness balance; with no puckering flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering tart/sour/spiciness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/acidic/tangy, and fairly tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.5%. Overall this is an awesome sour blonde ale. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, moderate oak, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish; not overly lactic. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Awesomely well rounded Brett/Bacteria complexity; with great oak presence, and pale/wheat malts against acidity. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp drying. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive style example.
