Draught at Mystic, 11/21/15.
Moderately hazy, perhaps lightly cloudy golden beer is topped by a small white head showing moderate retention.
Big fruity nose showcases both light citrus, tropical fruit and a touch of earthiness from what seems to be Mosaic. The lacto notes complement this pretty well, not being too heavy nor dominant. Lots of fun, funky, fruity, playful notes and a touch of honey and bread dough, as well, to gently balance. No alcohol or flaws.
Lactic acid and wheat dry the palate out, but there’s ample sweet malt to balance and a chewy texture and tight carbonation. Lime, guava, pineapple, meyer lemon and such all come and go with a lactic finish that is very tart and clears the palate nicely. Very enjoyable, straightforward berliner with an added strong fruitiness from the hops.
