Pours a light gold with big bubbles.
Slightly tart and lemony sour cherry aroma with a tart finish and a nice souring kick.
I guess I don’t have much more to add to this review right now. This sure ain’t poetry.
Beer reviews can be like that sometimes.

On-tap at TRB.
A: Slightly cloudy golden color with a short lived greasy white head.
S: Mango, lime tartness, passion fruit, and sweet tropical fruit nectars. Tartness is light and citrus-like.
T: Huge flavors of citrus, juicy passion fruit, apricot, pineapple and mango. There a touch of light and clean sourness that reminds me of slightly unripened fruits or a tart yet juicy citrus fruit.
M: Clean and greasy mouthfeel with a drying finish and scrubbing carbonation.
O: Super juicy and delicious. Citra hops all the way. The fruity hops and the tartness combine and tricks my brain into thinking there is lime, kumquat or other citrus thrown in here. Very refreshing.

Upon second growler review this beer gets a bump up in rating. Wonderful showcase of Citra, tropical notes blend harmonious with golden sour tartness. Clean, crisp ,semi dry finish. These collab. dry hop sours are all world class.
