We intentionally brewed this batch to have a higher level of acidity. Still not overbearingly sour, but an extremely refreshing, citrus forward kettle soured hoppy beer. Loads of lemon character. Brewed mainly with Citra hops.

16 oz. can. Orange body. Small white head. Kinda hazy. Smells hoppy and a little acidic. Like sour grapefruit. Tastes lightly tart. Grapefruit hops. Grainy. A little bit of a Theraflu flavor. Medium body. Medium low carbonation. It's tough to pull off this style really well, but this isn't bad.

16oz can from ThatCracker. Canned 5/24/16. Served in a Terrapin goblet.
Pours a pale, opaque yellow with two fingers of white head. The froth withers to a faint haze that reaches towards a fluffy belt, leaving scattered specks of lace.
The nose a slightly muted but I detect sour oranges with a little hay and a hint of sugar.
Tastes of soured orange, lemon peel, earthy grain and a faint sweetness. It is not quite sour per se but there is a funky element to it that plays pretty well with the citrus hops.
Dry-ish medium feel with moderate carbonation. Semi soured old citrus and vaguely sweet, slightly funky grains make for an interesting finish.
Cheryl From Accounting is significantly more IPA than sour but still interesting and pretty darn enjoyable.

Can received in a recent trade.
This one pours a slightly hazy golden yellow, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
Smells like orange, grapefruit, tart lemon, and white grape.
Poured cold from the can, this wasn't particularly sour at all. As it warmed though, a wonderfully refreshing tart lemon note developed. This melds nicely with the *somewhat* big hop Citra hop presence. The grapefruit and orange-y Citra-sy goodness is nice, but it honestly feels like the volume is on just a little bit too low. I wished for a more bold presence of everything in this one. Nonetheless, it's still very tasty.
This has a crisp mouthfeel, with a very juicy feel, and a good level of carbonation.

So i thought this was great, solid veil offering. Floral nose with a nice body and great hop flavors
So its says its sour on the can. it is not, in any way, sour
Also, everyone else said it was "cheesy", however, to my nose this was not very prominent

Poured on tap at the brewery in a teku, the beer is a hazy, yellow gold color, with a filmy, clingy, white head. Nose of toasted grains, dried grass, and subtle funk. Flavors are tart and slightly sour forward, with notes of white grape, lemon, and a bready backbone, with subtle yeast funk. Smooth, mid-bodied, with a crisp finish cleaning up the tart lemon and sour aftertaste. Good beer.
