Can. Poured a hazy yellow-orange color with a small, wispy white head. Aroma was light tropical fruit, mild sour lime, citrus. Flavor was tart, light acid. Very subtle overall to be honest, not sure if the tartness really undercut the hoppy citrus.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. White head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Lemon, lime and funk aromas. Soft with sweet tea and meadow upfront turning to tart kumquat, kiwi, lemon and lime before the lasting leather and funk finish.

Super hazy, bright yellow coloured body with a thinnish, pure white head that's very large bubbled and fades quite quickly. Aroma of super funky and strong lemons, limes, tea and funky bretty and lactobilly notes, but the hops are still front and centre with a lot of tropical fruit notes and some of the white wine notes of a Sauvignon Blanc here - nice in the nose! Medium-bodied; Pretty rich and fruity flavours up front of the key limes, lemons, papaya and oranges with a lot of funkiness right behind with a good layer of malts and wheat that provide support, but also a crisp ending. Aftertaste is robust, very soured and tart, but quite hoppy still with a light bitterness, all supported by a smooth sweetness from vanilla and lactose and a lot of body from the easy-drinking wheats and malt which is obvious here. Overall, a very nice and enjoyable soured, tart beer that actually does show like an IPA (I usually hate this fake 'style' by them throwing IPA in the name) with some good soured and tart flavours that really make this complex. Great to sample and recommended if you can find it! I sampled this fourteen ounce goblet pour on draught at Mekong [Restaurant] in Richmond, Virginia on 20-February-2022 with my wife and three kids while eating great food and having even better beer for US$7,00.

Undated can drunk 6/11/22. Medium hazy apricot flesh with a small, white head of low retention. Juicy stone fruit, minimal lactose, mineral and tropical fruit-laden motueka and moderate lactic acidity with plentiful malt character adding light honey and cracker/biscuit. No alcohol or flaw. Lovely tart, juicy aroma. Similar flavor with juicy, tart, lactic and fruity notes alongside big, juicy and mineral-heavy motueka. Rich malts, well-attenuated with a soft, malty texture and light cracker, biscuit and dough. Green tea is earthy and vegetal, notable if known about, with light vanilla and plentiful acidity. Excellent balance, huge flavors, great attenuation. No alcohol or flaw.
