"Drink by 9/11/16"; drank 5/11/16 @ the Yarchives.

Cloudy orange/yellow appearance.

A violent pour yielded a HUGE, noisy off-white head (careful pouring!); nice, frothy lace.

Grapefruit & wheat notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Orange citrus & wheat flavors up front; tart grapefruit notes on the finish.

A nicely balanced sour pale ale; it's mild on the hops & the tartness but has enough flavor to satisfy.

From a can, this brew is an amber-gold clear colored brew. The head is thin and the aroma is pungent...tart and earthy. The taste is dry, with lots of citrus and flavor. Tart. Medium in body and interesting.

Served on draft into a Shaker pint. Slightly cloudy yellow with a thin head and decent lacing. Strong lemon smell. This carries over to the taste. Wheat notes as well. A pleasant beer that went well with pizza at one of our favorite local BYO food bars.

A: I get what they're going for on the goofy early 90s aesthetic on the can, but kind of lame. A very nice pale color with minimal head on the pour.
S: Smell is somewhat muted compared to the taste. More grassy than sour.
T: Tart, light, and refreshing. Grapefruit and lemon. This is so balanced and tasty. Perfect for a hot summer evening in the Midwest.
F: Super satisfying. Dangerously drinkable.
O: I had this on tap at my wife's favorite restaurant in KC, Novel. Paired tremendously with that new American cuisine there. Have bought a few four packs of it since. This deserves to be an annual summer release from Tall Grass.

Not bad. Aroma is a nice tart blend of hops, caramel malt, a little lemon, and other fruit. Flavor loses almost all of the hop, leaving mostly the slightly lemony tart beer. Good body. Very drinkable. Wish the hops would've stayed into the flavor.
