Bottle thanks to MattyO. It pours cloudy gold with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, funky, grapefruit, lemon peel, sour stone fruits, wood, vanilla and some creaminess. The taste is crisp, tart, good mouth - pucker, gooseberry, grapefruit, sherbet, bright acidity, sour stone fruits, mango and wood with a dry finish. Medium body body and fine carbonation. Crisp, fruity and sour. Very nice.

Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Matty-0. Pours hazy yellow with a creamy white head. Zesty lemon in the nose, some hay, citrus peel. Light sweet flavor with moderate acidity, tart lemon, tangerine, dry wheat. Light bodied with average, spritzy carbonation. Clean and dry on the finish, moderately acidic, with more lemon, straw. Quenching, refreshing. Excellent overall.

Taste comprises zingy lemon, light wood must, damp cloth, melon balls left in the sun, funky tropicana, kumquat. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light acidic rise and moderate puckerings tinged with a juicy hop rinse. Solid sour, good balance, great stuff.

On tap at Bailey's, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is a strange hop mix, with herbal dank hoppiness. Flavour is very dank and herbal, with pronounced herbal hops. Quite sharp and abrasive. Not exactly harmonious or easy on the palate, but it's decent.

375 mL bottle poured. Bright peach color pour with a quick fade head. Sour peach, lemon and melon aroma. Creamy sour with tangerine, ad a late hop profile that leaves a good impression. Fun series to highlight these hops in a way that nobody else is doing it. Sour rating 7/10. Awesome beer. Open a brewpub.

Bottle shared by Marcus. Pours hazy orangey gold with minimal head. Aroma is rather tropical fruit and floral perfume - reminds me of aftershaves of years ago. Near med body. Flavor is mildly tart tropical and stone fruit. Gets sweet gooseberry in the finish just before expressing earthiness. Very nice drink.

On tap at the Beer Baron. It pours a hazy yellow color with a white head. The aroma has some soft guava, mango, grapefruit and lemon. Kinda creamy, fruity and acidic on the nose. Less grassy and intense than some of the others in this series. The flavor is creamy, tart, grassy with notes of grapefruit, peach and passionfruit. Very fruity with a softer, gentler hop character. Negligible bitterness. Sourness is pretty strong, but again, a little milder than the others. I enjoyed this one.
