16oz can into a pint glass.
L: Pours like fizzy hazy white grapefruit juice w/some fizz on top going quickly down to nothing, light carbonation, essentially no lacing.
S: Sour grapes, grapefruit, light vinegar, a hint of caramel, wet oak.
T: White grapefruit juice & pith, cedar, lemon zest, resinous, earthy lemon grass, a sensation of red apple skin. Overall lightly puckering sour.
F: A gently bracing, semi-juicy, glassy medium bodied mouth feel w/a medium long drying finish.
O: I wish "SOUR" was printed on the label. Nevertheless a grapefruit citrus-forward sour IPA w/a lovely twist using American oak foeders. The wood is integrated nicely in both aroma and taste. This helps give it an organic and fresh taste overall. It's sourness is not overstated as it is a bit citrusy, yeasty, simple & deep. 7.5% ABV is well masked. Like a Saison/Farmhouse/Sour blend. It is very good in it's style.

A sour IPA aged in oak foeders. It pours a hazy lemon wheat color with a thin head. Smell is funk and fruit. Taste has citrus with tart/sour fruit notes some wood and sourness in finish. Mouth feel is slight tart and sourness with some citrus hops . twas good but 16 oz. Was too much.
