16 oz can pouted, picked up at Garden Path FP, Bellingham. Really impressed with this fun and unique brew, amd wish I would have committed to more than just one can. Really refreshing and flavorful brew. Glowing golden orange, cloudy, with loose foam head. Lots of lemon, grassy, citrus, melon, tart funk. Gentle sour IPA like flavor. Crisp front with a smooth follow. Cool bite. Aroma suggests a much more wild ale than flavor provides, but it's a nice balance. Late palate holds some Belgian notes. Floral. Very layered and complex brew for something I thought would be more simple and straightforward for whatever reason. Really loved this brew.

Pale and somewhat murky appearance. Some light bugs, and aroma also shows it to be quite yeasty. On the palate, it'�s tart, raw, seems like it'�s going off but it'�s not, it'�s just adopting the garden path vibe. Not optimal for me, because it'�s more rustic than even the most rustic lager anywhere else in the known world. (I mean, Falkenberg zoigl is made without electricity and is less rustic than this)
