Poured from the tap. Hazy gold with small white head. Lacto, feint sweet peachy citrus, but mostly just a generic lacto sour. Okay.

Pretty hazy golden and peach coloured (true) body with a nice, but very fast-dying off-white head that only shows a single centimetre at first and fades to just a thin layer after a few seconds. Aroma of peach, apricots, funky bretty and lactobilly yeast notes with a light dose of hay and grasses, but the flowers and very soft peach notes are strongest with a good dose of the funky yeast here in the nose. Light to Medium-bodied; Pretty assertive fresh fruit notes show the peach notes front and centre with a lot of flowers and dry notes and an enjoyable funkiness from the yeast and finishing with a soft sweetness and tartness. Aftertaste shows a very easy-drinking, crisp and super apricoty, peachy finish that has a very mild sweetness, a soft tartness and a crisp wheatie bite that is super easy-drinking, enjoyable and showing some light complexity, especially for the style that makes this enjoyable throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in Portland (Pearl District), Oregon on 27-March-2021 for US$3,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 24-January-2023.

500ml bottle. Pours a hazy gold-orange with a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Fruity aroma of pale malt, peach yogurt, lacto and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of crackery pale malt, peach, lemon and floral hops in a crisp, tart lacto finish. Light to medium body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Enjoyable and easy to drink.

Keg at 73 Enid Street, 09/10/19. Lightly hazed golden orange with a decent off white cap that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is peach yoghurt, grass, light farmyard esters, toasted grains. Taste comprises tangy peach, gentle acidity, grass, citric zest, cereals, peach yoghurt. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light puckering kiss. Decent easy drinking sour.
