Thanks to GRG1313 for sharing this one at his tasting.

Pours a hazy gold with a foamy off-white head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Foamy swaths of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is slightly sour with malt, grain, and fruit aromas. Taste is much the same with slightly sour grain and currant flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of acidity on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer where actual currant qualities come through better in the taste.
