Draught at Everett, 11/6/21. Lightly hazy, tangerine-bronze. Small, off-white, mostly diminishing head. Nose is pleasantly tart with fruitiness and lactic acid sharing space. Not explosively fruity or tart, nor is it juicy or heavily malty. But to be expected, for its very small size. It's clean and not boozy. Soft, lightly juicy, quite fruity and satisfyingly tangerine and lactic-like without being too much of either. Coriander isn't big here and I can't even pick it out without knowing it's there. But that's ok. For such a small beer, better to err on the side of going lighter on it. Clean, crisp, well-attenuated with a crackery malt that still balances and provides substance.
