Draft at the source. Crystal clear yellow color, bright white head. Aroma of earthy grapefruit. Taste is softly sour citrus, light spice, earth. Delicious.

Draught at Fate South, 12/28/15.
Glassy, mildly hazy bronze-golden appearance with a small white head showing moderate retention.
Sweet Jesus, this is cold. Whew. This thing practically froze my hands as I put them around the teardrop glass to warm it. A bit annoying, that they serve their beers WAY too cold (especially something like this, which certainly should not be served ice cold). Strange, too, given how good their beers are, that they would overlook something like this, but then, not always easy to plan for serving temperature.
Light passion fruit/guava and a strong dose of lactic acid in the nose. Wheat and light vanilla with a very mild hop nose. Was expecting lots of pine and juicy citrus from the simcoe, but it’s rather relaxed. Bit of breadiness and lots of tanginess.
Not terribly sour in the mouth, with plenty of tropical fruit notes, though also a good deal of dry wheat and bread character. Moderate bitterness, with lemon, lime and white grapefruit. A bit too spongey/bready in the texture with a very vague popcorn character. Slight earthiness, lingering dry citrus and light guava notes. Heavily carbonated, but it’s fairly tight. Good attenuation.
