Nice tartnees
Used in a session Berliner Weisse, where I added canned peaches. The tartness was light and not over-powering, which allowed the peach flavor to come through. Will definitely use this again for next summer with strawberries.

Easy Sour
My first sour, used two packets for 5 gallon batch, tweaked a pale ale recipe and added tart cherry, came out quite tart (not a big sour guy here), then evened out after a few weeks and became an excellent sour in my opinion. Other people said similar to a kettle sour, I'd agree.

Makes a great sour
Aged the beer with cherries, oak cubes and a bit of merlot for a bit over a month after initial fermentation, tastes incredible at bottling time. The 'red apple' flavor diminished with age, but I'm sure the additions helped mask it. The acidity isn't too strong either, a nice lactic acid softness.

Love it. Makes life easier.
If you like sours and interested in getting in the game, this is an easy way to do so. I never do kettle sours anymore because of this yeast.

Perfect level of acidity for my taste
I can make a batch of beer that tastes similar to a kettle sour but without the additional step of souring the wort to the proper ph level before adding yeast.

Quick and easy sour beer
Love this yeast. I love sour beers but sometimes they can be a hit or miss with kettle souring or other methods. This is an easy to use, consistent, and wonderful tasting yeast. It isn't as sour as other yeasts but it is still a good kind of sour and tartness. The stone fruit flavors really come out. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to get into sour beers.

Not a pleasant sour beer
I brewed a sour wheat beer with this yeast. It got mildly tart - maybe I should have used 2 packs instead of 1 in a 5 gal batch. What bothers me more than the lack of sourness is the red apple note that the yeast produces. I cannot think of a beer style in which this would be a welcome addition and it really clashed with the the American citrus-forward hops that I selected. I won't be in a rush to use this again.
