Crazy foam head pops big, clear bubbles like rice crispies but very soon ends up being still and creamless, reminded me of a hard cider, or apple cider. Body is super heavy of a thick orange hue that pours like mango puree.

Smell burns the nose. Ripe pineapple and pear, vinegar, salty. Definitely not sweet in any way.

Taste is witbierish and a little salty. Subdued slightly sour citrus lemon notes. Mild and very much watery. A late after of something vegetal and toasted. Interesting.

Sharp and shallow carbonation over an already watery body didn't make me love the feel of this one. I thought I loved this beer on the intake, but by the end of drinking I was ready to be done with it.
