Bottle, 22oz. At Både&. A clear golden colored beer with a dense finger thick offwhite head. Some lacing. Lightly sourish fruity aroma with a pleasant hop touch. Rhubarb. It's medium to full bodied, smooth and refreshing, with a nice carbonation. Pale malts in the back of the flavor, with sour fruits, tropical fruits and rhubarb. Some grapefruit hints. Lasting finish. A very pleasant and easy drinkable beer. 190719

Bottle, undated, with some age on it, drunk 1/18/19.
Pours a lightly hazy, maize-golden with a small, white head that slowly fades to a ring.
Nose is a wonderful mix of juicy, tropical, tart acid-tinged pineapple, nectarine, passion fruit and lime. It's even and well-aged with no aggressiveness or excess lactic character. Hops have faded by this point but probably contribute to the tropical character somewhat (though not in the nose any more). No alcohol or flaw. Biscuit, light cereal and tons of Brett linger with just a fantastic, complex fruitiness.
In the mouth it's dry yet substantial in texture with more pineapple and nectarine. Lime-guava and light mango with light juiciness and plentiful tartness. Tight carbonation, no alcohol or flaw. Excellent, clean and well-structured/executed.

Bottle @ Både &, Kristiansand (black Friday offer they told me!) . Unclear, murky orange golden body with a moderate sized off white head. Aroma has malt, dry fruit, grapefruit, wood and slightly acidic funky. Actually more dry than sour. Flavor is medium sweet malt with wood, some fruit, slightly acidic and medium fruity bitterness. Fine body and nice aftertaste in the same direction. Nice but not as refreshing as some previous ratings here, suspect this was a bit old on the date without checking. Totally drinkable.

Pours clear gold into a tulip. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving spotted sheets. Mango, passion fruit and citrus aromas. Thin to medium bodied with aspirin and bandaids upfront turning to tart melon before the lasting pith finish.

Pours a hazy amber from a bottle, thick white head. Aroma begins as a lemon funk, but as the beer warms it becomes more and more like a woman’s nethers, in a good way, if you’re into that sort of thing. Tart, lemon/orangina flavor. Pretty good beer.

Sample at Tap House Grill. Hazy yellow-gold color with a medium thin white head that burns away steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of citrus, yeast and malt. Medium body with flavors of tropical fruit, resiny hops, yeast and malt. The finish is moderately sour with a citrusy hops aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Gold with small white head. Dry tart nose. Palate is tart but not exceptionally sour, more drinkable than most of the style
