On tap at Julian's, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out the tangy, citrus Nelson hops upfront, transitioning to the lacto. Flavour is along the same lines, with bright tangy citrus hops and biscuity malt. Hoppy and tangy. This is great.

Draught at the brewery, 10/21/17.
Lightly hazy, maize-golden with an initially large, off-white head that recedes slowly to cover.
Earthy yeast and hop notes mix with a biscuit/graham cracker malt background as moderately funky notes develop. Some sharp lactic acid announces the kettle souring rather poignantly while it finishes with light vegetal hop notes, lemon rind and a bit more yoghurt from the lactic acid.
Soft, fairly malty and with the honey-buttercream-like character mixing with the yogurty lactic acid to provide a strong juxtaposition of sweet and sour. The hops are very citrusy, with some moderate white wine/white grape character, but it's a bit vague and not juicy, with too much acidity building up on the finish and a very strong mix of earth and dry, leafy, vegetal-like hop character. Not the worst expression of Nelson I've seen, but certainly not the best. Carbonation is moderate, mostly engaging while there is no alcohol or flaw.
