32 oz. crowler. Hazy pale orange. Smell is bright and citrusy. Some orange, sweetness from the lactose, but not distinctly lactose. Lots of grapefruit. Brett acidity. Taste is tart right up front. Balanced by a creamy sweetness. Grapefruit and sourness kick in. Sourness takes over the back end, which is where the passionfruit is. Medium body. Medium carbonation. Akin to the Milkshakes from Tired Hands, but the brett really pushes it into the sour category. Interesting, but I think I'd prefer it without the brett.

-hazy, pale yellow tap pour. Uniformly cloudy with very thin foam. The aroma is big juice with a hint of Brett. Flavors include citrus, mango? Brett...it is tasty and seems clean and refreshing despite the high ABV. Special.
