A lip smacking and refreshing sour that has juicy citrus from the yuzu coupled perfectly with a generous dose of Citra dry hop.

Keg at MK VHX, 13/08/18. Hazed light yellow with a decent off white covering. Nose is tangy citric sherbets, lemon pissoi, damp hay, light balsa wood. Taste comprises zingy lemon, light funk, acidic ripple, citric tinged straw, apple core, on the turn melon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with balanced acidity and a light hop dusting. Solid refreshing sour for the ABV.

Tap at Zmajevo. Quite distinct lactic aroma, a bit more on the "sour" than "tart" side than these usually are, some Citra's there as well. As expected, that is followed by a taste where lactic acid is dominant, with some fruity Citra notes and some earthiness. Very much a solid sour - even if, in my opinion, it was outshone by other sour beers of this class on the festival, which might have influenced my rating.

On tap at Zmajevo, Zmajska pivovara, Jankomir, Zagreb. Shared with der Kaiser. Hazy straw, lasting creamy small white head. Acetic acid mixed with fruit. Citrus. Light glue. Moderate to high acidity. Sour. Very nicely blended with fruity and malty. Tart finish in the throat. Light body, moderate carbonation. Very lively.

Keg at Crate. It pours crazy cloudy yellow - gold with a medium white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, five alive fruit juice, fruit punch, musty, funk, sweat and bread. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, sprizty, good mouth - pucker, lemon - lime, really nice lemon sherbet vibes, gooseberry, mango, sour apricot and old fashioned lemonade with a firmly dry finish. Light - medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Rather delicious and flavoursome. Good chugging sour.
