Has some nice balance, but is ultimately a boring and entirely generic sour.
The tart character feels a bit watered down and there's really nothing unique about the flavors or aromas.
Not something I'd bother trying again.

From the brewery: fruited sour with passion fruit. Passion fruit, grapefruit pith, musk, tang.
Light brown color with only rim bubbles for a head. No lace. Cloudy, looks like pink grapefruit juice.
Fruity and then very sour.
Lip smackingly tart on the tongue. The swallow is even stronger leaving a long aftertaste. The body is rich and the carbonation high. No sweetness that I can discern.

For the style, this was Awful. Overall it is a palatable very very very lightly soured berliner like beer with some fruit and dry hop. However to call this an american wild, or even a sour, is unimaginable.

Darker amber red hued orange in color. Tart berries, hint of raspberries, lemon, orange marmalade and vanilla. Wheat malt profile. Minerally, creamy feel. Medium bodied, prickly carbonation. Shorter, semi-dry finish. Not bad.

Poured from he can into a snifter.
Nice pale yellow color, not a lot of foam, but what is there is nice and fluffy.
The smell is tart and very, very citrusy. Smells like lemonade, almost.
The taste is very crisp and refreshing. The satsumas really shine, together witch some lemon, and a nice grassy quality. The taste lingers quite long, considering the ABV.
Thin bodied, well carbonated, goes down easy.
Overall, a very refreshing palate cleanser of a beer. The satsumas really stand out, and the balance is very good.

Pours cloudy hazy opaque yellow gold with a quickly dissipating frothy white foam head. Smells like funky woody oak, tart satsuma mandarin tangerines, bready crackery wheat, lemon, lime, grapefruit, mango, passionfruit, peach, guava, pineapple, with floral earthy herbal grassy pine. Tastes like juicy tart satsuma mandarins, bready crackery wheat, funky woody oak, sour lemon, lime, grapefruit, mango, passionfruit, peach, guava, pineapple, with floral earthy herbal grassy pine. Feels light bodied, creamy with moderate high carbonation. Overall a really nice dry-hopped sour ale with satsuma mandarins.
