Slightly hazy golden yellow with minimal head and moderate effervescence. Dill, cucumber, biscuit malt, and straw aroma. Mildly sweet dill pickle, biscuit malt, mildly sour vinegar, mildly salty, and minimally bitter straw flavor. Good body - nice balance. Way better than I expected.

Poured a vibrant yellow color with a fluffy white head. Can pour. I really like their spicy pickle beer, but hadn't had this one yet. While it does nail the mark with it being like pickle juice. Okay, but needs either some more brine and sharp tartness to it.

Can from Total Wine in Vacaville, CA. Pours gold with a smallish white head. Dill pickle wafts from the pour. Med body or so. Very puckerish. Dry, salty and maybe bitter. Dill for sure. Definitely very pickle.

Tried from can. Poured sightly cloudy with a paper thin lace that quickly evaporated. True to its name it has an odor and taste of pickle brine with a lingering sour, salty finish. I typically find sour ales to be crisp, refreshing, easy to drink but to me, this beer is the opposite to those expectations.

Can: Poured a golden with a white head. Aroma is pickle, spicy, pungent. Taste is sour, pickle, spicy, tangy. This one hits for a pickle beer.

12oz can at Hops & Bottles. Cloudy golden pour, non-existent head. Aroma is pickle brine. Taste, yup...pickle brine. Dill and cucumber notes detectable. Quite a nice pucker.

Tart. Briny. Pungent. Don't think I can get through the full glass. Likely a good pickleback or mixed in with a bloody mary

Can. A- Dill, pickle brine, sour. A- Gold color, cloudy liquid, white head. T- Sour, pickle juice, vinegar, garlic. P- Medium body, average texture, high carbonation, super sour finish. O- This was a mouth punch sour. Lots of pickle juice and even chunks of pickle it looked like. The flavor is good but way too sour to really enjoy more than a few ounces.
