Very good beer, but I don’t pick up much hop character other than the citrus. Bright tart flavor. Good finish.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours cloudy pale amber. Aroma is grassy hops over funky brett. Medium body, tart and lightly sour, fizzy carbonation. Light wine barrel aroma. Dry palate. Very refreshing.

Bottle. Pours a hazy mellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma combines grassy hops with tart citrus and has a light sweetness underlying. Flavor has more sour citrus with a acid bite and a nice grassy note supporting.

Tap at Brasserie V. Unfiltered orange-tan-yellow body. Steady white head. Bright amarillo complements the sour tones, giving it that modern juicy feel. Mellow carbonation. Dry and biting. Really tasty, impressive amarillo display.

Hazy blonde. Ok, not much head, just a few bubbles. That amarillo kicks off a pineapple and papaya character. Tart, fruity, clean...this has a nice hop note, brett-forward sour, and while the sour is fairly strong it’s okay in context.

375mL bottle, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out dry hopping, followed by brett and stone fruits. Flavour is pronounced on the hops, with floral hoppiness upfront, followed by tangerines, pineapple and peaches. So much tropical stone fruitiness. Nice blend of hops with the fruits. Very good.

Bottle shared by Marcus. Pours translucent gold with a transient white head. Very mildly sour aroma of prunus and citrus fruits. Near med body. Flavor is hoppy sour citrus, peach and maybe pineapple. It’s dry, mildly sour, and some what deliciously bitter.
