Crafted with a balance of malty sweetness and tart sourness from lactobacillus, sea salt, raw wheat, kiwi, and blackberries.

It was pink...on tap at the brewery. Minimal head. Pink...cute.

Slight smell of strawberry, sledge hammer hit of brine, some grapefruit and resin pine along for the ride, too.

The taste - super salty assault. Once the shock dies down, a bit of sweetness, a little strawberry (?), and some typical IPA hoppiness. ANy tang from the wheat is buried by the salt. Ok...it sounds like a mess and I think it is, but it was actually enjoyable to drink.

Overall, fun and if it was less salty it might fare better. According to the staff, this was a case of too many brewers in the brewhaus. One thought they were making a gose, one a fruity sour, the other an IPA. True or not, this does sound like hey this doesn't taste hprribke, let's put it out there. I liked it, but it is a mad scramble.
