16.9 oz bottle. Pours slightly hazy orange with a fizzy head that quickly diminishes to a tiny collar.
The aroma is funky brett, wood, and fruit.
The flavor is sweet fruit with funky earthy acidic brett and a sour twang. The mouthfeel is thin and watery.
Overall, a nice fruity bretty sour.

Picked up from the brewery during the pandemic, May, 2020.
Amber color and clear. Okay starting head but it recedes to zero bubbles quickly and completely. No head.
I expected the smell to start off with orange rind or lemon zest, but I instead picked up a fragrant flowery aroma behind the neutrally sour forefront.
The taste isn't as sour as the smell leads on. There's a modicum of sweetness upfront. I detect tart orange (blood or seville?). The finish brings back the flower element I sensed in the smell. It reminds me of vanilla. A touch of sweetness in the swallow as well. Long lip puckering sourness in the aftertaste.

Can at Alchemy in Providence RI
Really easy drinking kettle sour, citrus from hops and added fruit, some clean lacto funk. Didn’t realize they were an offshoot of Jack’s Abby but that’s cool
