Light creamy fluffy head fades at a med pace, mild lacing, murky orange juice color.
Nose is crazy awesome, bright lemony citrus, pink and I mean bright tart pink grapefruit, sour tangerine thing, tart citrus rind and pith, fruity bubblegum thing, hint of grainy straw malt, mild musty vinous grape.
Taste starts with sour lemony notes, tart rind, more grapefruit and mild pith, bitter but tart lemon peel and tangy notes, almost like a lambic infused in a hop. Nice juicy generic fruity flavor with fair bitterness. Some tangy musty vinous white wine grape flavor. Then grainy toasted malts and cracked wheat, little doughy cracker. Finish adds a mild crisp soft lager note, dry, with long bitterness, lemon zest and citrus with mild cracker and roasted grain lingering too.
Mouth is med to lighter bod, nice mild lager softness and crispness, nice carb.
Overall this is awesome, one of the best collaborations I can remember, not sure what the deal with the hops are but it's like a fruity lemony tart lambic in hop form (found out it's a combo of Manderina Bavaria and Hallertau Blanc), with other great characters, little lager still pokes through with the pilsner malts and maybe even wheat.
