The 2nd newly released in bottles Agoura Hills and Ladyface Ale Companie is Trebuchet.

This golden farmhouse ale pours a bright and haze free orange and boy howdy this is a tart freakin beer! Even the aroma is tart with notes of wood

There is a slight touch of honey in the flavor but the tart just blossoms over your palate and after a short respite blooms again as it rolls down your throat. Loads of white wine character adds another aspect to this beer and I no matter how I tried, I could not pin down another flavor component that broke through the tart momentarily.

Even for someone who is used to sour, this took me aback. I would like just a slight dial down of the tart but I can only imagine that others really like how sour the Trebuchet goes.
