Sample at Haandfest 2019. Unclear pale golden body with a small white head. Citric fruity aroma with some malt and yeast. Flavor is kinda sweet and dry with some fruity acidity, hint of sweet honey, some pale malt, spicy yeast. Medium body and average aftertaste.

On tap at Haandfest. It's an unclear yellow colored beer with a white head. Some lacing. It's fruity on the nose, lightly spiced and with a pleasant touch of honey. Not sure I'd notice the honey in the aroma at first if I wasn't told it was there. It's more pronounced in the flavor though so I'd catch it anyway... Grapefruit, some apple and a touch of grass. It's dry, medium bodied and pleasantly carbonated, with a soft bitterness and flavors of grapefruit, melon, apple and grass on a backdrop of pale malts and honey. Some herbal hints. Lasting fruity finish. A refreshing and quite tasteful beer indeed. 190503

Draught @ MBCC 2019 - Green Session
Pours slightly hazy golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, funk, tart and yeast. Taste is light sweet and light sour with a long slightly dry, tart and funky finish. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass shared by AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Appearance is hazy light yellow (like champagne, but opaque with pour from bottom of the bottle) with nice sparkle, thin ring of off-white head and no lacing. Aroma is mild tart fruit, dust, milder sweet fruity esters and scalliony herb. Taste is stronger tart fruit than aroma (including pear), dry yeast (like a dry champagne) and funk. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, soft carbonation and mostly tart finish as taste but some sweet balance. Overall, I appreciate the complex layers to the aroma but strong tart (as in the flavor) just isn't something I can say I enjoy. I believe it is well crafted for those who enjoy the style.

500 ml Bottle. Aroma shows slight Brettanomyces and honey. Flavor has a mild brett throughout followed by a light honey sweetness. Mild barnyard in the hint.
