It pours a clear that turns hazy light yellow orange colour with 2 or more fingers of foam on my initial pour. Kudos to the BAs that mentioned it was a gusher...I put it and pulled it from the fridge.
Funk and lemon citrus is big on my nose initially but also continuously.
After getting over the niceness of the smell, I dove in to taste it. Funky notes, lots of lemon citrus and an overall sourness that leans more to the vinegar side than the fruity side, to my palate. It works for me and the 6% abv is more than comforting for me for the style.
Medium body, above medium carbonation, good mouthfeel.
We got a bunch of this in town and seeing as the price isn’t unreasonable, I forget how much but under $6 a bottle I believe, I will get more. I see that it isn’t all that widely distributed yet too. Give it a go.

A golden beer with a weak and blond head. The nose medium sourness, grapes, some vinegar, salted cucumber, also sweetness, hint of lether. Taste has apples and fruits, the sourness isn’t very strong, balanced sweetness, grapes. Medium bodied, low carbonation but still slighlty sparkling. Interesting, balanced sourness. Easy sour.

12oz bottle. gushed slightly. hazy orange no head. Nose smells like olive brine and sea salt with capers. Taste is the same but with tequila and vermouth this is like a cocktail gone bad with lambic added. ugh.
