Tasting Notes

Like biting into a freshly-baked, flaky pastry filled with vanilla, peaches, and coconut, this Sour Ale delights the senses with a dance of sweet and tart. It has an oven-fresh quality that melds all the flavors together in delicious harmony, but it’s all wrapped in a cool, quenchingly smooth body that tingles the taste buds.

the calm before the storm sounds great, and overall was at least a drinkable sour. I wish that the vanilla and coconut was more equally balanced with the peach flavor. I think if J. Wakefield got that down they would have a 5 star beer.

Eh it’s okay with light orange and some vanilla/coconut. Too faint to tell either way.

A very interesting beer. it’s not overly sour so you get all of the flavors especially the vanilla. Really enjoyed trying this beer.

Was hoping for a peaches/cream or peach cobbler like taste. I didn't really experience much of the flavors as I had hoped to.

You get a lot of vanilla and peach with hints of orange and coconut. It was a pretty good balance.

just the few months of aging really changed this beer. it was nice before but became mellowed out with the peach and coconut stepping forward. war cloud and j Wakefield both kick out some good stuff.

Good level of sour and peach flavor but vanilla was very subtle and couldn’t hardly taste the coconut
