Draft. A- Gummy bears, fruity, subtle poblano peppers. A- Yellow color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Subtle passion fruit, fruity, gummies, poblano peppers. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Big letdown here after having wanted this forever. Not near enough passion fruit and not near sour or tart enough. Also had a weird sweet poblano pepper side to it. Just not as good as I hoped.

Tap at the Davis Graduate. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Fruit and citrus aroma; possible sour note. Med + body. Flavor is very fruity, even a bit tropical, with lots of citrus and a light citrus sour aspect. Maybe zest. Really refreshing. Gets touches of earth and light, light, sour in the finish. Delicious.

Keg at Flying Saucer. It pours cloud golden with minimal head. The aroma is fresh, fruity, sweet mango, passion fruit, candy, grapefruit and tang. The taste is crisp, tart, juicy, lemon sherbet, candied peel, salted lemon, minerals, decent mouthy - pucker and light lactic vibe with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, prickly carbonation. A pretty quaffable fruity sour.
