16 oz can. Aroma is floral, lemony, funky. Pours hazy golden with a one finger bone-white head that falls into a ring and skiff of foam after a minute. Taste is lightly tart, bitter and sweet with floral hop and lightly funky flavors. Mouthfeel is velvety but almost watery. My first impression was that it was a very tame beer, bordering on mediocrity. As it warms up in the glass, its complexities reveal themselves, with the funky Belgian influences and modern hoppping with its accompanying bitterness becoming more prominent. I still think they could have gone more extreme with the souring and the hopping, but they were probably going for something more subtle here, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Sometimes subtlety can be more interesting than a sledgehammer of flavor attacking the palate.
