Pours hazy gold into a tulip. White head with little retention recedes to coat nothing. Summer pit fruit and citrus aromas. Sharp with peach and apricot front to back. Medium lacto, pith and marshmallow finish.

Draught @ Roasthouse, Frederick, MD. Pours murky yellow with small white head, looks nearly like egg liquor. Sour, grainy aroma with estery and citric touches. Sour, vinous and grainy flavour with notes of yeast and C-hops and touches of malt. Vinous aftertaste. Quite reasonable.

Thanks Carrigan for the can! Poured into a snifter showing well filtered honey yellow with no head. The nose shows a lot of forward cereal malts. The palate is light bodied and well carbonated. Moderately tart with pronounced mango and guava juice forwardness followed by a lightly malty aftertaste.

Can shared at CBC Clerks during the Cad's leaving to. Thanks to nimbleprop. Pours hazy orange-gold with a fading white head. The nose holds lemon and dried mango, light sweet flavour with moderate tartness, some acidic burn, tangerines. Light to medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Fairly quenching finish, nice tart lemon and mango character. Good stuff.

Keg thanks to Nimbleprop. It pours crazy cloudy orange with a small white head. The aroma is sweaty, salty, lactic, musty, funk, tropical fruits and kitty litter. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, juicy, fruity, good mouth - pucker, sour candy, lactic, sherbet, mango, sour peach, passion fruit. pineapple and minerals with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Nice sour candy vibes. Decent sour, taste is better than aroma.

16oz can pours a nearly opaque orange with some ringing white head. Nose has sour tropical fruits, under ripe mango and guava, grapefruit, soursop, some kiwi berry. Flavor follows, tart with some citrus acid, but plenty of sour tropical fruits. Full, tart finish.

Ridiculously hazy, super pale yellow coloured body with a thinnish two centimetre tall white head that fades relatively quickly. Aroma of super pungent guava, mango, lychee, passionfruit and especially mangosteen fruitiness that make this very nice indeed and mouthwatering! Light to Medium-bodied; Super assertive fruity flavours that battle with some sour notes to win out, and the drinker is the beneficiary - this one shows all the right fruit notes with a bit of a sour character, a lot of tartness along with some funky sides from the yeast and ends with a dash of brett and light hop dryness on the end. Aftertaste is incredibly complex and very fruit-centric with notes from the yeast. Overall, a nice and fruity beer throughout with some subdued grassy elements, showing a ton of funk and pungency with a nice sour and wild flavour throughout - very nice and complex and a welcome beer from the brewery! Definitely worth going out there and trying to find this one, especially if you like either Fruit Beers or Sours as this is a nice amalgamation. I sampled this sixteen ounce pour on draught at Whole Foods in Pentagon City (Arlington), Virginia on 19-September-2017 for US$5,00 sampled at the end of my driveway.
