Can from Corti Bros. Pours clear, bright gold with a white head. Tart, mild arguably citrus aroma. Med body, nearly. Clean. Lightly, lightly tart. Mildly wheaty. Lightly citrus. Light flavors, but quite refreshing. Definitely sessionable.

I cannot say that I am a big advocate of sour beers but my daughter brought this by for a tasting. And here we go. The 12 oz can is opened and poured, I see a clear, medium yellow body with just a bit of an off-white head. The taste is a crisp light citrus, dry crackers and very little of a sourness, at least to me. Obviously a decent summer, session beer.

Can from a trade on BA, undated, drunk 7/9/16.
Lightly to moderately hazy, straw-golden body is quite carbonated and has a medium-sized white head atop that slowly fades to a ring.
Lemon, light pineapple, big honey and cream of wheat all balance out quite nicely and it doesn’t smell like a shot of pure lactic acid. I like how the malt and wheat soften it. Hay, grain, bread and such with even a pinch of caramel and no alcohol or flaw.
Great carbonation; nice and tight, with a malty and wheat-laden texture that is soft and inviting; very drinkable. Good attenuation with lingering honey, caramel and light fruitiness. Lactic acid is very mild and there’s plentiful dryness from the wheat. I like that it focuses more on the yeast and malt/wheat and less on the lactic character. No alcohol or flaw.

Can, thanks Steve. Pale yellow, small white head. Smells of sour wheat, a little oak. Softer sour taste, lightly sweet even. Cross of a Berliner and a hefe. Interesting.

Can from Whole Foods-Lamar. Nice wheat aroma, light bodied. Dull pour, sweetish taste, dry puckering mouth feel. Good palate cleanser.
