Score: 99
2011 vintage bottle served in a taster glass and enjoyed on 05/11/13 to celebrate the end of law school. Review is from notes.
Appearance: Pours a cloudy orange-amber color with a finger of white head. Good lacing and retention. 4.5/5
Smell: Tart lemon juice, pear and subtle musty vinegar. A little fruitiness. Residual funk. Really nice sour citrus aroma. 5/5
Taste: Sour lemonade-like with good pucker. Acidic orange, a little apple and pear. Lots of juicy sour citrus. Only a little vinegar funk. Layering sourness. Nice and subtle grassy hops too. Really excellent! 5/5
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, perfect carbonation. Excellent layering pucker. Dry. 5/5
Overall: One of the best sours I have ever had. Shame it took me a year to type this review up. I need to get a bottle. This was my favorite beer in the Armand'4 seasons series.
Cost: Depending on the exchange rate, this one is likely to run between $45 and $60 for a 750 ml bottle (if you can still find it online).
