Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: copper cardboard looking cloudiness with a finger and a quarter of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: subtle lime to sweet to piney hops coating a light sweet grainy character then some tart to sour/lacto character; light orange pulp but I feel that's a stretch a bit, light vanilla down in there too
Flavor: mixes the prior noted aromas to a semi-tart to sour quality initially then a slight sweet tone rides in underneath; finishes with a brisk piney to light sweet grainy character
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness but also some tart pucker to punch at my tongue
Overall: at this point, I'm trying to understand how to rate according to style and accepting brewer's creativity. What a beer to contemplate that previous statement on.

Draft at Mellow Owensboro. Pours a clearish silver color with a finger of foam that lingers. Light lemon and sweet orange aromas. Thin and quite watery on the palate. As it moves toward the finish some vanilla cream and sweet mandarin notes. Watery finish.

Sample at Greenville Beer Exchange. Cloudy yellow color with a medium thick foamy white head that dissipates gradually to a film. Partial rings of lace. Lemon, wheat, vanilla and malt in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of tart lemon, herbal wheat, vanilla and biscuit malt. The finish is moderately tart with a lemony aftertaste. Above average overall.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled in 3/2018. Pours moderately hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense and rocky white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big lightly tart lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, citrus peel/zest, hay, straw, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread, light pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/acidic yeast, citrus hops, vanilla, lactose, and pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lightly tart lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, citrus peel/zest, hay, straw, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread, light pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Very mild lactic tartness and herbal/grassy/zesty hop bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, citrus peel/zest, hay, straw, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread, light pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, citrus hops, vanilla, lactose, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/tartness balance, and zero cloying/puckering flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering tartness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and slightly acidic/sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.8%. Overall this is an outstanding dessert style Berliner weisse! All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, citrus hops, vanilla, lactose, and pale/wheat malt flavors; insanely smooth and refreshing to drink, with the mildly acidic/drying finish. Tastes like a citrus fruit milkshake/ice cream. Awesome balance of fruity Lacto, juicy hops, vanilla, lactose, and malts. Not overly sweet or lactic either way. A highly enjoyable offering, unique, and spot on style example as expected. Just as impressive as the other ones I've tried.
