Pours a slightly hazed yellow into a snifter. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Sweet summer fruit and spruce aromas. Soft with sour lemon and spruce upfront turning to aspirin, tart lemon pith and peel before the abrupt finish.

Tap at St Gambrinus, New York. Colour is cloudy yellow with small white head. Aromas and flavours: Fruits, citrus, salt, tartness and some malts. Massive citrus. Not sure what to think about this. Citric juice.

Draught at Lulus, 1/22/16.
Thoroughly hazy deep golden-to-light amber body is topped by a large white head with moderate retention.
Spruce in the nose, I suppose, though it’s not particularly differentiable from any other piney hop notes. Lots of acid, lemon and a touch of biscuity malt. Pleasant enough with no alcohol or flaw.
Sigh. Yet again, it’s just a mouthful of oak and citrus, for the most part. I’m seriously stupefied how any one finds Grimm’s sours enjoyable. Oily, heavily acidic, tannic and heavily citric, it’s pretty much like an oaked grapefruit juice. The spruce is notable in the flavor, providing some relief (though dry, astringent spruce is not exactly the best for mitigating this already heavily acidic, dry flavor) and the carbonation is tight which helps the drinkability. Certainly not as offensively oaky/acidic/citric as some of their others (psychokinesis, the "goings" and such) but nothing I’d ever want to drink again.

Masha and the Bear, Brooklyn tap: pours light yellow with a white head. Aroma is lightly piny, lemony, and with that sour mash smell. Taste is lightly sour and not as salty as other goses. The spruce is a nice touch and does not overwhelm. Pretty nice.
