Canned 07/23/18.
Pours a bright, hazy gold with a small quarter inch head of frothy white foam. It settles quickly into the beer.
The nose is bright and pleasant, with potent aromas of honey, tropical fruit, and tart citrus. There is a very subtle hint of Belgian funk on the back, and works to give the nose a unique feel.
Stark contrast from the aromas, with flavors of apricot, tart clementine, Belgian yeast, and a hint of floral hops and white wine on the backbone.
Crisp, dry, smooth. Mildly tannic.

Hazy yellow, tall quickly dissapating head
Smells of salt, sour cherry, pear, wheat, grapefruit
Tastes of salt, sour apples, tart and acidic
Dry and sort lightly harsh on the tongue
Decent, summery beer. Bright and tart. Definitely could only drink one

Thanks to Ravenforbeer, canned 3/07/18
Pours a decent foamy bubbly 1 finger head that fades at a med pace, bit of lacing, very hazy pale blond color
Nose typical kettle sour, lacto sour funky lemony acidic, tart and bright acidity lemony, little cereal grain wheat, fruity pebbles, background fruity grassy hops
Taste brings a lot of sourness, again typical kettle sour, lacto, bright acidity, little funk, cereal grains, fruity pebble cereal, some lemony and lemongrass with a little funk, mild grassy floral fruity hops, flemmy finish, a bit sticky too, little lemon candy lingering with bready grainy and a bit of bitterness that clashes a bit
Mouth is med to lighter bod, nice carb, big acidity and a bit flemmy
Overall not bad, typical kettle sour with some hop notes but they turn a bit bitter on the finish and clash a bit, otherwise not bad

Hazy yellow with no head
Lactic sour with lemon and orange finishing with a bit of lime and some doughy malt
Flavor leads with lemon, lime, and orange and finishes medium sour with lactic character and more bready, doughy malt
Feel is medium body with dry finish and high carbonation
A stellar hoppy sour - I need to try more of this style!
