Bottle. Straw beer with a big white head. Tart and light lemon aroma with light grapefruit. Sour and grapefruit flavor. Medium bodied. Light sour and grapefruit lingers with light lemon.

Bottle, C&C. Moment of panic when I turned around after tossing the cage and the cork was on its way out, but in the end all was well. No gushing or anything. Hazy golden pour with a large foamy white head that dissipates slowly with lots of residual and clumpy lacing. Aroma is dusty with a tropical citrus backing and some field grass notes. Flavor is light tart, a bit dusty but otherwise bright, lots of tropical fruit notes. Light body, soft carbonation. Quite nice actually.

Draught at Row 34 on 4/23/16.
Thoroughly hazy brass-golden body is topped by a small but staunch white head.
Hops in the nose complement the sourness quite nicely as nectarine, lemon, light lactic notes and hints of brett all combine to produce a very bright and funky nose. Bits of biscuit and cracker show the sparse malt hanging in the background. No alcohol or flaw.
High carbonation, mostly tight, but exposing some very light astringency from the extremely low gravity, high attenuation and bitter/tart notes. Otherwise, there’s delicious pineapple and nectarine with lots of soft citrus and strong brett/lactic acids. Very juicy as it continues to warm which proves to be the most endearing. Tons of dry fruit skin-like flavors definitely need the juiciness to balance. Some light salinity, lots of cracker/biscuit and juicy, tart, lactic notes for days. Great combination of flavors and you can’t argue with all of that in such a low gravity beer. Mystic seems to be able to do no wrong lately.

Beer Table To Go, NYC tap: pours hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruit, vinegar, and the funk. The beer itself is pretty sour but the sourness does not totally overwhelm the tropical fruity elements. The dry hopping is there and noticeable in small parts. Nice bit of complexity. Nice beer.
