On tap. Pours an orange amber with light head. Aromas and flavors of tart wine gums, tropical fruit and oranges. Seems sharp and thin without much of a malt base. Nice enough but very much a kettle sour.

Ooh I do loves me a sour, found this one down by the Buddhist temple in Richmond. Modest head, lots of carbonation, yellowing body, no funk at all; a very refined lager-like sourness with hints of citrus. Very pure, a very simple aroma and appearance. Flavour has some positive sour notes, good crisp lip-sucker, but missing any funk or complexity. Dry finish. Simple and reasonably drinkable but lacking in any personality... hmm, kinda like Richmond itself.

Bottle from High Point, Vancouver
Hazy golden color, small head. Pungent aroma, tropical fruits, passion fruit, calamansi, citrus. Dry, sour, with puckering loads of citrus peel, pink grapefruit in the finish.
This is really good.

Bit hazy, light tan. The aroma is assertively melony, some mango. Bitter, mango, with grapefruity hop, Really bright and delicious, all the massive hop, moderate bitterness and light sourness that I like in this type of beer.

650mL bottle, pours brings out lots of lacto upfront, followed by floral dry hopping and some citrus. Flavour is bizarre and clashing, with a floral, earthy hop character, followed by lacto, and some herbal, pot-like notes. Doesn't really come together well. Pot-like, floral notes finish this. Okay.
