Sayeth the Guys:

Ryan: I have had this beer on tap multiple times.  Essentially, anytime I’ve run across it – I’ve ordered it.

Each time it has been delivered in a schooner, looking an apricot or orange in color, and smelling of awesomeness and tart fruit.

Lots of green apples and peaches in the nose of this beer.

Now THIS is what a sour beer should taste like.  Up front, you get a puckering sourness followed by the aforementioned green apple tartness and some sweet peaches.  The tantalizing tartness goes all the way to the back of the throat and finishes with a little acidity.

This beer is off the charts refreshing.  Typically, I like to share bombers, but I may keep one of the New Belgium Eric’s Ale for myself.  Sorry Guys.
