Haze, big massive plum aroma, a bit yeasty, but massive plum. Tart, plummy, depths of fruit, acidity.

Single from Craft Beer Cellar in Dallas, surprising. Pint glass @home. Slightly hazy, medium gold with a twinge of sunset & floaties on the second pour; Weak head. Light vanilla & mild dark fruit with a curious fresh twang. Vanilla smoothness on the intro leads to a sharp tartness of plum or berry skin. Slight astringency, significant oak pith & some bright cherry-apple over a gueuze-y backbone. Not too acidy. A little frothy. Kinda good.

Nice funky sour, although as it warmed the vanilla becomes a bit too dominant for my taste

Tip Tap draught, 5/21/23. Plummy-violet. Small, off-white head. Good clarity. Nose is playful, fruity plums with brett and light lactic acidity. Crackery malts, light mineral and more funk on the finish. Soft, tart, big brett and plum acidity, but well-aged and easygoing with sot, well-attenuated malts. Low oak, low acidity. Great plum expression. This is much more interesting and fruit-forward than the tropical punch version.

Can. Pours hazy pink grapefruit, merlin fizzy off white head, good lacing. Aroma is dusty, stone fruit, bugs, lactose. Flavor is light plus tart, light funk, nice fruit and bug notes. Better than the score.
