adamjackson\u00a0(231)<\/a>\u00a0– Canaan, New Hampshire, USA – APR 24, 2012<\/small><\/p>\n

Picked this up in a trade. Can\u2019t remember who sent it but very excited to try it! No bottling date. Taken out of the cellar at 55 and poured into a Hill Farmstead Glass.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A – 2-Finger off-white head with big and small bubbles.Decent head lacing. SRM 2.5-3. Color is golden brown like a lot of beers I\u2019ve had lately.\u00a0<\/p>\n

S – What a sour nose. Very intense sour scent with a huge funky yeast profile. I\u2019m getting some dry fruits like apricot and banana chips with a healthy bit of raspberry\u00a0<\/p>\n

T – This is a very sour beer. It\u2019s actually more tart and tongue electrifying bitterness. The beer is bitter but I credit it fully to the Lychee fruits which are known to be very tart.\u00a0<\/p>\n

M – 50\/50 carbonation, medium body but not the champagne finish I was expecting. Very nice fruit juice finish with the bitterness that lingers on for a while.\u00a0<\/p>\n

O – Nice beer. Solid and very drinkable.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n
