Giving our taste buds a workout, we follow a big stout with something a little lighter. On the nose is a sharp punch of sour--lemon and unripened peach. On the tongue is a definite tartness, but a little less than expected given the nose. A bit of sour wheat but at the same time a slight sweetness mid-palate, with hints of apple skin and oak. Really nice. Thanks to Chris Vandergrift for sharing this one with Greg Leimer and myself.
