First sip is sour at first, but it becomes a bit more floral and pine. It's definitely more sour overall than any other Lagunitas ale I've had, and I can't really say why. Does the oatmeal do it? That doesn't seem like it would make any sense, but the sourness is there. I can't say I'm a fan of sour beers in general, but I have to give this the full swig test.
Tip-in is bread and oats and some of the floral hops with that bit of pine. Tip-in is not sour, as I would have expected. There is a bitterness and lemons that go along the top of the mouth when the middle comes and the bottom is filled with oats and bread. The finish is where the sour lies - it hits in a wave and then dissipates well enough as the flowers and pine send a parting kiss.
Bottom Line: Another good one from Lagunitas. Not a great one, but very good.
