Dullish pale, hazy. Just a thin head. It’s got a wonky sour note, not quite right, and then there’s a light but natural apricot that kind of cuts in over top of that. These notes aren’t integrated and honestly I’m not crazy about how it’s all coming together. I actually like the bright natural apricot even if it’s a bit mellow, but the base sour is just too far off for me.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a cloudy opaque dirty yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out a good balance of citrus zest, apricots and lightly tart funk. Flavour is fairly restrained, with puckering citrus upfront, very subdued apricot and a little hay. Everything dies on the finish, leaving a slight astringency. Nothing off about this; it's just muted and uninspired.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Murky yellow color. Lightly sour without being refreshing, the tannins are out of place, it has some lactose in the final, but also some other footy yeast trace. Dirty. I wouldn’t even call it Berliner Weisse.
One more beer to continue the tradition of I-dont-know-how-but-I-do-it sourish beers in BC.
What’s the point?

Draft - Light wheat and some tart soapy notes. Cloudy yellow with a decent white head. Tart notes. Lemon peel but no real apricot. Maybe some in the finish, but I think I am digging. Still not bad though. - As it warms the stone fruit come to the surface and is quite nice.
