Light sweet flavour with pleasant acidity, more juicy passion fruit, lemon, melon. Light bodied with average, spritzy carbonation. Moderately dry on the finish, with lemony tartness, papaya and mango, cleansing acidity. Great beer.

Sampled @ ChrisO Pre-GBBF Shindig. Hazy yellow to light orange color, small off-white head. Smell and taste lightly malts, brett, a touch of some fruit in there but mostly fruitpeel sour and a slight bitterness. Decent body and carbonation. Ok beer.

22 oz. bottle thanks to Willrunforbeer. Bottled 7/8/2014. The color clear in color gold, crystal clear. Aroma is oak, lemon pulp, funky Brett.
The flavor has strong tart passion fruit in spades! Wow. Also strong amounts of lemon rind and light hints of oak. Texture is very dry and shows some cottonmouth. Honestly, this has become SUPER tart. I mean punch you in the mouth tart. That said I don’t hate it. It does need something to balance but considering the ingredients, it’s still pretty drinkable.
