Very cool concept here from Baltimore's best breweries. Double dry-hopped sour with lupulin powder? Bring it on! Packs a hoppy-sour punch in only 4.6% ABV. Crushable, flavorful, well made and... different.

 

Pours a lightly foggy straw with three or more fingers of white, foamy head that bubbles up quickly and retains fairly well. The transparency drops to null, forming a dull orange with a murky/opaque transparency when the final ounces of the can are poured into the glass. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruits right at the nose, with farmhouse yeast, biscuit, caramel, and bread malts, and a pinch of pine hop. Flavor profile is where the sourness seeps into the experience, hitting with a light splash of lactic sourness in the middle of the flavor profile. It has citrus, tropical fruits, and pine hops throughout, with lovely biscuit, caramel, and bread malts underneath. Farmhouse yeast springs through every so slightly. Mouth feel is medium in thickness, with a velvety, fizzy texture that balances out to form a wonderful texture. Overall, a splendid beer with good balance between the sourness, hops, and farmhouse base.

Served in a 12oz snifter from a 16oz can.
