Sampled from the tap at GTMW 2019. Pours a hazy very pale yellow and a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma is full of tart Meyer lemon with a touch of sweetness with a bit of wheat backing. Flavor has dry and slightly tart Meyer lemon with some earthy wheat backing.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 3/15/2019. Pours very hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big sour/tart/tangy meyer lemons, lime, orange, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light peppercorn/lacto/musty funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of meyer lemon juice/peels, fruity/funky/acidic yeast, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big sour/tart/tangy meyer lemons, lime, orange, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light peppercorn/lacto/musty funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tart/sourness, fruit tang; light pine/herbal/grassy bitterness, and yeast spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of sour/tart/tangy meyer lemons, lime, orange, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light peppercorn/lacto/musty funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of meyer lemon juice/peels, fruity/funky/acidic yeast, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/tart/sourness and tangy fruit balance; with minimal puckering flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering tart/sourness, tangy fruit, and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy/acidic/tangy, fairly crisp, and lightly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.9%. Overall this is an awesome fruited Berliner weisse. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of meyer lemon juice/peels, fruity/funky/acidic yeast, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink with the modestly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish; not overly lactic. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Perfectly balanced between vibrant lemon juice/peels, Brett/Lacto complexity, and pale/wheat malts against acidity. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and outstanding spot on style example as expected.

Pours from the can a hazy straw color with a medium white head that burns away steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing. Aroma of tart citrus, wheat and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of tart lemon, wheat and biscuit malt. The finish is tart with a lemony aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Draft at Salud. Cloudy yellow color. Lemon aroma. Lemon taste. Throat punch? Sucker punch? The most interesting beer name I've seen for a while, and it's entertaining just sitting at the bar and listening to people trying to pronounce it. Most just give up.

Keg at Firkin. Hazy pale yellow, thin creamy white head, good retention. Aroma of tart lemon juice, biscuity pale malt. Taste is lemon juice, lemon zest, mandarin, dandelion, pale malt. Medium bodied, juicy, lingering tartness. Nice.
