3.9 Sample at The Source. This beer pours a hazy golden color with a medium thin white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Strings of lacing on the glass. Passion fruit, funky yeast and malt aroma. Light to medium body with a tart passion fruit character and notes of floral yeast and malt. The finish is moderately sour with a passion fruit and citrus aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

4.0 Aromat jest dosyc intensywny, dużo skóry, siana, ziemi, przez to wszystko przebija się marakuja. W miarę ogrzewania wychodzi ona coraz wyraźniej. Smak kwaśny, wytrawny, ale poziom raczej niski do średniego, bez wykręcania ryja, bez octu. W smaku cytrynowy zest, limonka, kwaśna marakuja, ziemia i skóra. Całkiem pełne o miłej fakturze.

3.7 Decent sour, not a lot of fruit going on. Nothing terribly bad about it, just not a lot going on either. Well made, and tastes good but not great.

3.2 A lot stinkier than the other petite sours -- a sock, tons of barnyard, catty, sulfur, hay, sweet passion fruit. Not a lot of fruity character to it. Hay-like yeast notes and cracker malts quickly give way to a flash of tropical fruit and then banging acidity. Tartness slowly rises and grips the tongue ever tighter after the finish. Tartness could be turned down and fruit flavor could be turned up.

3.7 Pour is light pale yellow with a medium white head. Aroma and flavor of pale malt, apple juice, pears, and lemon peel. Finish is tart passion fruit, tart pear, and dry.
