Pours a cloudy light straw color, bubbly foamy head that quickly fades. Aroma is mainly lemon, funky, grassy. Unique flavors here: citric acid in spades, lemon, earthy, fairly sour, tart. Surprisingly full bodied for the style. Carbonation is perfect - plenty of it. Overall an interesting sour, I was expecting a light bodied beer, this is much more, yet only 5.7%.

Pours a hazy golden yellow with a finger of white head.
Smell is a bit funky, Brett, citrusy, lemon, mango.
The taste almost has me in a sensory overload(in a good way). The layers of tart, funk, lemon, mango, pineapple are amazing. Well balanced.
Full bodied with good carb level. I feel the body on this really allows the flavors time to process.
Overall an amazing beer. I wish I could convey my thoughts into words on this one, I don't feel my review does it justice.

much much hoppier than any of the other funky beer we had in here, hazy like a new england ipa, but with a cool wild yeast profile to it, a little tart but bretty and funky too. its murky and not overly frothy looking, a bit denser than the others, but with a beautiful fresh hop aroma from these new zealand varietals. i get white wine, kiwi fruit, and passion fruit, tangy and twangy with the bacterial element in the fermentation, lemony even, and then sort of farmy from the brett, hops well above anything else. its a little heavy in feel, the density of it all slowing me down a little bit, and kind of clashing with the delicate nature of the hops, bold as they are dosed, these are not piney northwestern high alpha types, and they would be better served i think by a lighter background. that said, the beer is plenty complex, and the fuller body helps me have time to appreciate all of the layers. sour like lemonade in the middle, more funky dry hoppy saison-esque later on, really flavorful and delicious beer, a cool style hybrid, i suspect we will see a lot more of this kind of thing, new england saison, new england wild ale, new england berliner, whatever...

375ml capped bottle into Night Shift stemware. Shared with schen9303.

Nose is lemon zest, Brett funk, hibiscus, a sprinkling of sulfur and a dash of citrus. There's a mellow fruity sweetness about this one. Funk factor is awesome. Beer opens pleasantly tart. Hints of lemon zest, lemon rind, Brett funk, cobwebs and wet wood. Great complexity. A touch of cane sugar balances out a zesty, juicy tartness in the middle. Green apple too. Mellow, dandelion on the finish. Body is light with moderate carbonation. Foamy on the palate. Finishes messy and filmy with a light, lingering aftertaste.

I want a little more life on the palate but otherwise, the flavor in this one is spot on. Not too tart, not acidic. Great balance.

Poured from a 500ml bottle into a Teku glass.

Look is a hazy bright yellow with a thin white head.

Aroma is fruity sour malt.

Taste is almost floral like. Even a little bit of that floral dryness you get from flower water.

Very good and well balanced.
