Bottle poured, shared by Tcon. Thanks! Clean, shiny golden pour, active lasting head. Lots of layered sour fruit notes. Guava, orange fruit. A little lime like citrus, with a gentle dry finish. Sour notes fall to the bottom of the glass. Big pucker finish. Sourness 9/10. Tasty brew.

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow, small white head, hint of residual. Aroma is heavy on the passion- guava notes for sure. Undertones of bugs, barrels, and grapefruit. Flavor is light plus tart, pretty low funk, mineral notes. Medium body, lowish carbonation.
