16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 10/10/2017. Pours slightly hazy pale golden straw color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tart/tangy passionfruit, fruit skin, lemon, lime, pear, peach, melon, red/green apple, wheat, cracker, hay, herbal, grass, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/acidic yeast, passionfruit, and light-moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tart/tangy passionfruit, fruit skin, lemon, lime, pear, peach, melon, red/green apple, wheat, cracker, hay, herbal, grass, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness and fruit/wheat tang in the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy passionfruit, fruit skin, lemon, lime, pear, peach, melon, red/green apple, wheat, cracker, hay, herbal, grass, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, passionfruit, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with zero puckering flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from tartness and tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.9%. Overall this is a delicious Berliner weisse. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, passionfruit, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink; with the modestly lactic/tangy/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery feeling for the ABV. Great balanced lacto fruitiness and tangy passion fruit flavors; with a nice pils/wheat malt backbone. Not overly lactic, but definitely adequate. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Very pale yellow with nearly no head. Fruity, tart, lemon, passion fruit in the end. Finish is clean and crisply tart. Thin body. Nice but nothing exceptional.

Can thanks to Annie. Pours a cloudy yellow with small white that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong passionfruit, wheat, floral. Thin body, lacto, wheat, passionfruit, very tart, good.

Sample at Kraft House No. 5 during the "Platform Tap Takeover feat. Hubris Triple IPA" event on 04/20/2017. Hazy pale yellow color with a medium thin white head that burns away steadily to a film. Passionfruit, yeast and malt in the nose. Light-bodied with a tart tropical fruit character and notes of floral yeast and biscuit malt. The finish is tart with a passionfruit aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
