Hazy, honey gold, lathery goblet in Nebo with my wife.

Floral, vanilla custard, something like pear, soft banana nose, Savingon Blanc tropical.
Twangy, white wine, grassy, bitter earth stops it from getting sweet. Grainy saison-like finish.
High acid, tart but not crazy sour.

Good not great.

Damn nice unique flavor, or at least not common, super jammy tangy sour fun. It's packing a fair amount of acidity too but it's fun and unique enough to enjoy. Like sour apples meet pineapple.

Bottle shared at Alex's birthday. Thanks Aaron! Pours a clearish gold with a finger of off-white foam that lingers. Lovely tart lemon, pawpaw, and dried apricot aromas. Tart but not overly so on the palate. Oaky, creamy notes with some wild honey, apricot and light melon notes. Lingering finish with gooseberry and faint lemon honey. --- Beer merged from original tick of Carolina Custard on 22 Feb 2019 at 23:30 - Score: 8

very pale golden color. No head. Very sweet with modest tartness. The nose is just like custard. Low carbonation tons of lime custard, low medium sourness. Very well balanced . Don’t know how they can make it seem like a lime custard so well. Excellent.

Tap into a taster at MBCT showing well filtered straw with no head. The nose shows forward clean notes of flower and light sweet custard. The palate is lightly carbonated and medium bodied. Lightly tart with light notes of flower and lemon. Clean and very easy drinking.

Tap @ Mikkeller Beer Celebration Tokyo, Yellow Session. Light yellow pour, no foam. Nose has custard sweetness and feels pie-like. Lacto and tart acidity. Pretty nice. Tastes tart, custard sourness (if that is a thing). Actually very nice pastry sour, all sweet pastry flavours expertly displayed and overall is still not too sweet.
