This was poured into a tulip. The appearance was a hazy yellow milky color. No head, no lace. The aroma starts with crisp sour to tart lime juice up front. Some sticky pulp with a subtle sweetness underneath. Sly grassiness. Some pine. The flavor starts sour lime/citrus sticky pulp. Pine comes back slightly. Sticky lime juicy aftertaste and big sour finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sticky sipping quality about it. Low carbonation. Overall, a whole lot of lime juice in this with a fair amount of dry hopping. Good for what it is and I could see myself coming back to in the warmer months.

 

Poured on tap into a flute at Worthy Kitchen in Woodstock, VT.

Pours a yellow/straw color with a bit of haze. Large bubbled head settles fast into minimal ring around the glass.

Aroma is sour lemon candy. Not a lemon drop, more like a lemon sour patch kid.

Flavor is a sour punch in the tongue up front. Not overpowering, not a slight tartness, but a sourness like licking a piece of lemon. After initial sip it settles down a bit and has a nice background of citrusy hops.

Effervescent, crisp carbonation and lighter side of medium body.

Overall a tasty sour brew. Definitely sour, but not removing my enamel.

Pours a 1/2 inch head, gone in a minute.
Nose has strange sourness that I can't quite pinpoint at the moment.
Taste is sour, real sour as in lemons, real sour lemons.
Moderately nice feel.
Overall, I will try again.
