Sour Blonde Barleywine

[SATXbrew]

Looking for some help in making a sour blonde barleywine. Real Ale here in TX does one that is awesome and I would like to replicate it. I found this recipe from brewtoad and wanted to get your take. I dont want it to be overly malty sweet like some of the previous barleywines that I have done.

Here is the commercial version description:
