Growler thanks to Tyler. Pours a cloudy orange with small white head that lasts. The aroma is strong passionfruit, oak, citrus. Thin body, tart passionfruit, lemon, oak, jammy, light acidity, really enjoyed this.

On draft at Caps & Taps. It pours a lightly hazed pale yellow color with a white head. The aroma has juicy lemon, passionfruit and light grassy notes. The flavor has smooth notes of passionfruit, grapefruit and lemon. Very tart and lactic. There’s a hint of oak and herbal spicy fruity hops, but low bitterness. Lots of tartness and oak complexity to go with the fruit and hops. Nothing is too overdone. Maybe a light hint of grass in the back of the throat. Aggressively sour but no acetic acid. Clean. Awesome.

Draft at Cellarmaker. The beer is clouded through with haze. Tannish yellow in color. Small white head, sorta fizzy. Big passion fruit flavor up front in the aroma. Great mix is sweet and sour tropical fruit flavor. Not a super strong aroma but nice and juicy. Light lacto, light oak. Fairly mild funk. Very pleasant combination of flavors. Everything comes through well in the taste and you get a lot more fruit. Lightly effervescent with some juicy body to it. Very tasty stuff. The Rare Barrel-Cellarmaker collabs continue to be wonderful.
