Purchased at SF Ferry Terminal Farmers Market

Bought at the SF Ferry Building farmers market.

Oddly, this tastes more like a pina colada sour (strongly pineapple; coconut impression could believably be a result of honey & diacetyls). Little to no funk. Less floral than I'd have expected. Still, this was interesting and quite tasty.

I just had a sip of this. Pleasant, smooth saison (vanilla?) with medium tartness at the finish. Definitely enough funk to give this a bit of a cheesy overtone. A. Would horse blanket again.

To fill in for Mike. Effervescent nose with nothing else. Taste is a slight sour combined with spicy that really appeals to me. The sides of my tongue continue to tingle long after the sip.

More bitter than I expected, but still sour. I really like it.

A lot of unusual flavors in this stout, with a nutty, slightly latte-like flavor with moderately roasted malt flavors. There's a hint of the alcohol's strength at the back, but overall this was the most interesting in the bunch, and probably the best.

Almanac makes sour sours, and this may be the most sour yet. This is truly like a five-pucker beer, although the character of the flavor is nice. Hints of pie spice in the fragrance although the sour basically erases everything. Finishes with a poppy tingle.

Extremely, puckeringly tart, almost like a fruit vinegar. A little too tart for me to truly enjoy. There was a pleasant, buttery peach flavor that emerged if you let it, right at the very end, which was a nice positive. But very little, and very late.

This hits you up front with sour notes, but reminds you that there is hops involved. Delicious.

This place looks like a hole in the wall but I bet it's hopping at night. This beer was opaque orange, very yeasty, lots of banana and apricot. Some dank hop juice in there as well? Dry, clean finish. Not my favorite style, but enjoyable.

Very noticeable tequilla flavors. They underlying beer has nice sweet chocolate flavors and a surprising but pleasant tart flavor. Pretty good!

Mostly dry with as very faint underlying sweetness. Ends with mild citrusy flavors and a light hop bitterness. Very refreshing!

Has a good roasted malt character with tame chocolate flavors. Pleasant.

A dry, tangy stout with a bit of a dark chocolate sheen. Pleasant enough, but not one I'll remember for too long.

Lots of tequila in the fragrance. Stout base is on the dry side with more than a little tartness. Tequila is strongly present with a vegetal, lettuce-like overtone. Unique and very appealing, although perhaps starting to wear by the end of the glass. (10 oz goblet)

Golden and puckeringly tart in the way I've come to expect from Almanac. Clean cherry flavor without noticeable funk, although cherry is a fruit that intensifies the sense of sourness (like the citrus beer from the same brewery) rather than playing off of it (like the pluot's butteriness), making it a bit more one-dimensional. So it goes lower on the ranking.

Not my favorite of the Farmer's Reserve series to date. My memory has gotten fuzzy, but I think this one was a little too sharply tart in a kind of raw citric acid sense for me to really love.

Dry beer with clear notes of pumpkin and pie spice with an understated but definitely present drinking-vinegar tart edge. This is actually the kind of flavor I hope for whenever I try a pumpkin cider, but am usually disappointed by too much sweetness. Very well-balanced, with the only minus being a slightly unpleasant brett-funk aftertaste.

There are better porters. Its still a porter tho.

Dry chocolate taste, it's not really sweet but it is very chocolaty and finishes strongly with chocolate. Good around 12oz but more than that it'll be too much.

Missed opportunity for notes. I remember this being delicious, but a month and a half on, I don't remember much else.

Very sour. A nice tart sour. As I drink more, I'm starting to think it might be too much of a sour.

Quite tart, but of a clearly sour-cherry character. Clean finish has some almost-buttery wild yeast funk that really binds this beer together in pie-like glory. Not sure how much I could drink, but it was very nice.

Opens with a tongue-pricklingly effervescent, sweet lightness, which called the rice to mind, before settling into an IPA-ish flavor profile where the yuzu citrus and floral dry-hopping are quite clear. The finish goes back to sweet rice. I say IPA-ish because it's different enough to tickle the cortex, but it still sits firmly in that world.

Sour taste keeps going. Not bad once you adjust to it

Funky smell that starts to seem skunky after a bit; otherwise it turns from the sun really fast. The flavor is a cross between funk-laden sour and a fruity, fragrant session IPA, with a good amount of chewy bread to go with it. An odd beer, but I mostly enjoyed it.

Starts like a decent, robust stout with slight sweetness and a bitter backbone. At first it's not noticeable, but chili builds up in the back of the throat over the course of a glass. -- a high, dry, spice that I'd have preferred come with more smoke and fruit of the pepper.

Eh... I'm not sure chipotle beers are my thing.

Solid, light, smooth porter. Doesn't hit you on the head, but still comes off as recognizably chocolaty. Good balance and mouthfeel.

Quite tart, with a restrained barrel character and a mellow dilute fruit-vinegar tartness. Finishes clean and dark.
