Pours a golden color, very hazy. Not much head and a nice balance of carbonation. Smells wild, but not tart. You can taste the salt and tartness, it is definitely wild! Very unique beer, happy I tried this at Clinton hall. Thanks brad for the recommendation, definitely want another

Greenpoint Beer & Ale Co. "Acidifus Humulus Wet Hop Sour Brett Beer"
on tap @ Dirck The Norseman on 18 October 2015
$7 for 14 oz.
Notes: Wet Citra hops delivered within a few days from B.T Loftus Ranches in Yakima, WA. Wort was soured in the kettle with Brett. Claussenii.
Appearance: Hazy yellow-gold body beneath a creamy white head. Very good head retention and lacing.
Aroma: Clean as opposed to funky, but still suggesting "sour" or "tart". Pungent, dank, and citrusy with lemon, grass, and some earthiness and chalk. Quite engaging!
Flavor: The flavor follows with some additional pear, lychee, dragonfruit as well as a light not of something vegetal like tomato seeds (which is to be expected of sour beers). Sour but not too sour. Really drinkable as it's about as "balanced" as a sour beer can be.
Mouthfeel: medium-light in body and sharp in the mouth with a gentle bristle on the tongue due to both the acidity and the carbonic gas.
Overall: Easily the best dry-hopped sour ale I've come across. Not unlike some of the best white wines that exhibit a bit of tartness, the aroma is just as good as, or even better, than the actual flavor. I could have 'dawdled' with this for an hour or more if I'd wished, enjoying it in small ways rather than just drinking it and I'd have been happy and fulfilled - yet at the same time there's something about the hops that just drive you to continually sip at it. Remarkable. Well worth seeking out!
