750mL bottled 8/29/21, drunk 4/17/22. Clear, brassy-gold. Small, white head sits at cover briefly. Less stark/austere than the purple version, with a hint of juicy hop and more round fruitiness from the yeast. Lactic character seems softer/better developed. Lightly hoppy, gaining a bit of sweet maltiness, with pleasant lactic tartness and mild citrus bitterness from hop. Biscuit and cracker malt texture. Still pushing the overly dry and sour aspect (too much citrus rind character), but it's much more welcoming than the purple version.
