Slightly hazy, yellow color. Big, white head. Lemon and flowers in a slightly funky aroma. Tart, dry, and refreshing. Although, I am ot sure if it can be categorized as a Wild Ale

A: The beer is slightly hazy yellow in color and has a light to moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a half finger high bright white head that left a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface and a collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of gooseberries are present in the nose.
T: As in the smell, the taste has flavors of gooseberries along with notes of honeydew melon. There is a a light to moderate amount of sourness.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a rather tart on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This sour ale has pleasant aromas and flavors of gooseberries.
Serving type: can

On tap in Brooklyn. Pours orange with fluffy white head and nice lacing. Aroma is of funky yeast, bready malt and wild berries. Body is medium and tangy. Taste is sour, tart, fruity, pale malt and some hops. Finish is long and tart. Nice refreshing brew.

Poured from a caged and corked 750ml bottle into a dogfish tulip glass.
Look is hazy golden with a big head that dissipates quickly.
Aroma is dry tart farmhouse ale.
Taste is more of that refreshing tart slightly slaty note.
Absolutely delicious summer drinker.

L: Pours a very lively and clear gold color, on the darker side, with a pretty massive foamy head and good head retention. Very pretty beer.
S: Mildly tart with a touch of honey-like malt and sweet meaty tropical fruit. Some citrus and grassy hops with some moderate brett character.
T: Restrained tartness, relatively clean and fruity Brett character, and bright hops. Some sweet bright citrus, pineapple and grassy hop character. Semi-dry with some cracker-like, heathery malt.
F: Just under medium bodied with very lively carbonation.
Thoughts: Yet another good beer from Transmitter, though far from my favorite beer from them and far from a standard-bearer for hoppy wild ales.
