Draft at Milk and Hops Chelsea. Hazy yellow pour with a nice, foamy white head and heavy lacing. Tart, fruity, and funky aroma and flavor. Bit lactic. Clean, tart mouthfeel. Mid-dry close. Really nice stuff.

Draught at the Return of the Belgian Beer Fest, 9/17/16.
Bright, beeswax-maize with a light to moderate haziness and a small, but well-retained, dense, white head.
Forgot the name of this hop, but it’s something new and interesting. Certainly very apparent and forward in the nose, creating a really bizarre (in a good way) kumquat-lychee-dill-yuzu sort of thing. Bright and vegetal/green and combining with the sour, lactic acid notes quite nicely. It’s backed by dry, wheat and biscuit-like malt notes with good minerality. Lots of pepper on the finish, as well, with the crazy, complex hop notes lingering nicely on the finish and no alcohol or flaw noted.
Similar in the flavor, with a very dry body and good tartness (not quite sour). Lots of lactic acid, light brett fruitiness and just all hop character. The dry hop is nice, I don’t know if it’s prone to resinous notes but being dry-hopped it obviously doesn’t produce any and just pumps out green, citrus and spicy herbal notes. Tight carbonation.
