The beer is a rather pale yellow straw color. Medium sized white head. The liquid is clouded over, glowy in the light. The aroma is full of sweet tropical fruit flavor. Big melon, kiwi, lychee. Sweet tangerine, pineapple, orange. Delicate with a bit of juiciness. A touch of brine. Very mild oak. The taste is mildly tart with lots of hop flavor. Big full lacto sour character. The hoppiness works well with it, adding sweet fruity notes. Quite refreshing. The mouthfeel is soft. Medium body. Mild saltiness. Little pucker. Easy to drink.

Bottle at home. Pours very cloudy yellow almost looks like a smoothe with frothy head. Nose is citrus and touch of salt. Tastes of lemon, melon, lychee, touch of orange zest, pinch of salt, wheat, and finishes tart. Very refreshing another gem from Grimm.

Absolutely cloudy pour, despite the beer resting cold for a week and a careful pour. But the large white head sits atop and slowly recedes to a good covering. Pale golden with white gold hues.
Lactic acid in the nose alerts to the acidity while fruity hops add a rarely seen element to the "style". It works well with the sour acids, bringing forth dry pineapple, mango and even passion fruit hints and adding lots of complexity. WIth some warming, however, the orange zest and light oak emerge, somewhat harrying the otherwise lighter, more playful hop and lactic notes. Seems like a bit more sweetness than I’d expect, based on the nose, though perhaps that’s just the richness from the oak.
The flavor, unfortunately, is dominated by the orange zest. After Night Shift orange zested the hell out of their much anticipated Cape Codder weisse, it was about a full year before the heavy handed orange zest finally faded and allowed the cranberries (which were supposed to be the center piece of the beer) to shine. Point being, I’m going to half to put a moratorium on brewers using orange zest, as obviously they don’t know their limits. Anyways, behind the orange zest you’ve got some fresh, heavily woody and toasty oakiness as well as light lactic sourness and grapefruity hops. The orange comes back on the finish and lingers. It dosent taste bad, just way too much of it.
Clean though, and so nice to try a Grimm beer not from the evil Paper City. As I said with Rainbow, I think their beers are incredibly ambitious and it would be nice to see what they could do with a classic example of a Belgian style. It’s good to push the envelope, but their beers have a lot more going on than they need to, most of the time. Furthermore, this beer could be a good deal more dry and crisp on the end. The hop flavor is nice, but this could use a good deal more bitterness from the hops or acidity from the lacto.
As an orange shandy though, this is near a 5.0

Pours hazy pale yellow into a tulip. Bright white head with medium retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Citrus and saltwater aromas. Sharp lemon and orange front to back and through the orange peel finish. Citrus bomb.

Pours a completely clouded yellowish-orange color with a frothy head and fairly heavy lacing. The aroma and flavor are site wheat and a bit of salt. It has a medium body. Slightly dry. Salinity definitely comes through on the finish. Not too shabby.
