Born screaming from the combined might of Vibrant and Elusive, this sour beast is a worthy effort. Lemon in colour with a bright, zesty aroma. On the palate is a barrage of pineapple tartness that annihilates the senses and the finish is a gentle wash of biscuit malts. This is our joint gift to you.

Tap at Craft Room. Misty golden body with a white head, fine enough, with good retention. Nice citric fruity tart aroma. Refreshing dry taste, citric, initially complex but sip after sip quite focused and genuinely nice! Green fruit touches but in a nice way. Definitely a success!

On tap at Craft Room, Opatovina, Zagreb. Hazy straw colour, creamy white to off-white head. Good retention. Sharp acidic aroma with pleasant fruitiness. White grapes, citrus. Light sourness, light bitter kick. Light body, moderate carbonation, aromas in finish are abrupt, but the acidity lingers.

Can. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Opens with a loud crack. Pours hazy yellow, with a huge, lively, lasting, white foam. Nose has lemon sherbet. Sherbet Dab. Pineapple chunks. Some white grape juice. Lactic sharpness in the background. Taste has crisp, lemon tartness. Fairly dry. Punch of hop bitterness. Crisp mouthfeel, let down a little by being way too fizzy. Makes for a decent hop burp, though. Dry and crisp sourness to finish.

Keg at Rake, smallish creamy head, light hazy pale yellow color, salty mineral aroma with a bretty edge, stinky sulphur like aroma, with a pleasant fruity sourness, light to medium bitterness, long bitter sour aftertaste. Very good and highly enjoyable.
