0,33l can at home. BB 28/10/2016. dark yellow very cloudy color, rather big white head. smells light hoppy, yeasty, acidic, some apricot jam and some peach, ok smell but a bit boring. medium body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes rather lactic sour, citric, some fruit notes, peach, spices, grassy, some zest. finishes rather sour and lightly bitter & dry with notes of peach and strong citric notes. not a big fan of this, tastes like an "accidental" sour beer, the taste is a bit unpleasant even.

Can at home, 25/05/16. Hazed orange with a decent egg shell white cap of bubbledom. Nose is tarte orange, pisyy citrics, sharp lemon tinged balsa wood, juicy hop exhaust atop the sea of sour. Taste comprises tarte citric bling, green berry must, sharp lemon, damp hay, hop jazzle, funky grapefruit esters. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a moderate acidic rise and a clean hop bite at the curtain call. Solid low ABV sour with a good hop profile. Would chuge this juan again and again !

Can from Hop Burns & Black. It pours cloudy orange with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, sweet - sour, bright grapefruit, orange creamsicle and bread. The taste is crisp, tart, clean, juicy, orange sherbet, grapefruit, minerals and bright acidity with a dry finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Really juicy and tart. Drinks mighty easy!

Can. Curious Hop, Otley. Cloudy, dark orange. Thin, frothy, just off white head. Nose has a lemony, lactic tang. Bright, fresh hop. Pale, cracker biscuit malts. Comes across nicely balanced. Taste has a crisp, lime freshness. Lick of sherbet sweet. Clean palate. Getting some bitterness on the finish. Drys out on the close. Tangy, tasty beer.
