4.44/5  rDev +0.9%
look: 3.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
Appearance: Pours a hazy golden straw color with 3/4" of eggshell white head. Head retention is just okay, basically settling down to a ring around the edges of the glass. Lacing is just okay as well.

Smell: Tart lemons and pungent bretty funk up front, all highlighted by juicy citrus hop scents. Excellent.

Taste: A hint of grainy malts up front, followed by lemony tartness, horseblanket, and floral notes. Back end is punctuated by citrus and mango hop notes. The dry hopping really shines in this beer.

Mouthfeel/Overall: Light bodied with fairly low carbonation. Immensely drinkable. Overall, a great dry hopped sour. Really enjoyed just about every facet of it. Definitely recommended.

Hazy golden orange color.

Tons of tropical fruits. Mango and grapefruit with peaches and oranges. Nice funk,
Nothing overdone with the Brett.

Light bodied. Nice sourness.

Well done. Very enjoyable!

375mL bottle poured into a snifter
(A)- Pours a golden yellow color. Some solid white froth
(S)- A nice dry yet funky oaky citrus meets subtle pine
(T)- Nicely tart citrus up front that flows into some funky bitter pine. Finishes dry with an oaky bark taste
(M)- A nice carbonation level and balance. Tart, dry, and funky but with a nice hoppy kick to even things out
(O)- An interesting play on what I would call, a funky wild meets a citrus forward pale ale

Enjoyed 6/27/15

Appearance: Moderate clarity gold, thin head.

Aroma: Touch of funk and nose-hair tingling acidity.

Flavor: Nice moderate acidity and fruity hop. More barn-y funk than most CS brews at this point.

Mouthfeel: Bone dry and refreshing.

opened side-by-side with the batch 60 re-release that happened instead of the primitif release. enjoyed progenitor from the 13 cellar reserve teku and the 60 from a what the funk wine glass. confirmed...these are the same beer.

a - an almost neon orange yellow with a generous froth off cream colored head that left some nice streaks of lace on the on the glass. murky and cloudy to the light, but glowing. some visible carbonation bubbles could be seen dancing to the surface.

s - nose is a wonderful smartie sweet tart egginess. the dry hop also shows itself as an almost tropicana oj vibe of bitterness on the tail of the scent.

t/m/o - as with the first round of batch 60, really a wonderful brew. sweet tart sour that tickles your taste buds like candy. crisp and refreshing. one of my favorite stave beers. really just spot on. i hope that they continue to release this periodically as it is so nice to have that freshish batch 60 again. excited to have a few progenitors and a few batch 60 re-release/re-brew. although i did prefer the name primitif, i'll live as long as the elixir is this good!
