Ever so slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a faint off-white head on top that fades pretty quickly and leaves nothing up top after a few seconds. Aroma of super soured and tart gueuze and wheat like spontaneously fermented yeasts with a touch of tropical fruits and a dash of flowers here, but relatively mild compared to the soured fruits and yeast here, but a great nose. Medium-bodied; Rich wheat and yeast flavours come through at first with a mouth puckering sourness that is way stronger than anything else, including the dry oak notes, the berry flavours and a bit of tropical fruits here like pineapple and passionfruit. Aftertaste shows a ton of complexity, all starting from the sourness and spontaneously fermented yeast, but also from a bit of dryness and a softer, floral finish. Overall a very nice soured beer with a ton of flavour, a rich sweetness derived from some tropical fruits and a kick of the flowers and dryness that make this nice all the way around. A great beer to sample, especially fresh and on draught! I sampled this sixteen ounce pour on draught at the brewery here in Anchorage, Alaska on 05-October-2021 for US$6,00 sampled while here in Alaska for the day after being here with my family on vacation a few months ago.
