look: 2.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
A: Hazy orange with a small eggshell head that doesn't stick around save for a thin film. Leaves no lace. The weakest part of the beer for me.

S: Slightly sour and quite fruity. Apples, pears and green grapes all come through. A lemony sourdough bread quality balances the sweeter fruits.

T: The fruit aromas transition nicely into the flavor. A lemon and clove bitterness comes on with just enough bite to create balance. Toward the end, a hint of anise joins in. Its flavor stays through the beer's long finish.

M: The grainy body could stand a higher dose of carbonation.

D: I liked the aroma and taste, but the look and mouthfeel were letdowns. Overall I liked it, but it seemed like it could be better.
