650ml bottle - 'Tart | Refreshing | Rustic'. Haven't seen a chick in a bikini on a beer label in a while - at least it's done with style here.
This beer pours a clear, pale golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and fizzy bone-white head, which leaves a bit of speckled lace around the glass as it quickly dissipates.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, estery Belgian yeast, tart lemon peel, sour lacto, and very, very tame leafy, musty, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is spoiled yogurt, grainy and crackery pale malt, a subtle earthy Saison yeastiness, some indistinct acrid citrus rind, and more ephemeral herbal, leafy, and floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly active in its palate-tickling frothiness, the body an adequate medium weight, and generally smooth, with just a touch of sourness playing the part of the proverbial pea. It finishes trending dry, the grain and citrus essences fading to black.
Overall - this comes across as a competently rendered kettle sour ale, with a nice frooty offset (presumably from the Tettnanger and Perle hops). I gotta say, their standard trifecta of marketing descriptors is pretty much bang-on this time.
