650ml bottle - ingredients: 'water, barley, spelt, hopes, yeast'. Yep, we all feel the same way (but maybe add some hops in there too, just for shits and giggles, yeah?).
This beer pours a mostly clear, pale golden yellow colour, with four fat-ass fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and fizzy off-white head, which leaves a few instances of summertime windshield bug splatter lace around the glass as it quickly recedes.
It smells of bready and doughy pale and wheat malt, sour, if indistinct light orchard stone fruit, earthy yeast, and more than a hint of plastic-like phenols. The taste is big peach and apricot fruity esters, some thankfully isolated sour chicanery, grainy and bready pale malt, a waning wheaty cracker joint, still standoffish yeast, ephemeral table-top pepper mill output, some late-arriving lactic notes, and gentle leafy, weedy, and floral hop bitters.
The carbonation is quite tame in its easy to get along with frothiness, the body a bare-minimum medium weight, and generally smooth, only the fruitiness bearing down on my palate right about now, and it's all right, y'know? It finishes well off-dry, and still pretty fruity, in that summery Okanagan way - yowsa!
Well, I like this one a hell of a lot more than I was anticipating, after all the sour/tart/funky beatings I've been taking of late. Anyways, the awesome fruitiness that they've coaxed out of the hops here is commendable, and goes a long way in offsetting the various sour essences, to create a truly drinkable and enjoyable quaff. Kudos!

Pale straw gold, very thin head. Grainy wheat and slightly sour on the nose. Light sourness, very crisp and clean. Good stuff on this hot summer day. Wish I had a bottle.
