Fairly hazy pale yellow, golden coloured body with a large, soapy white head that has large bubbles, is billowy, but fades quickly. Aroma of very soured fruits, lemons, oranges, berries, but tons of lactobilly notes and some brett as well and perhaps a touch of grassy hop bitterness in the end, but it's fairly well hidden due to the soured notes. Medium-bodied; Super tart and soured note at first, with a lot of yeast funk, alcohol, tart lemons and grapefruit and ending with a grassy and very herbal bite, with some light bitterness, but seems more from alcohol astringency and yeastie funk than from actual hops. Aftertaste is deep, pungent and grainy with the malt, alcohol, soured fruits and especially deep lactobilly/yeast/bretty funk making this pungent. Overall, a very interesting beer and way more of a sour or tart beer than any sort of IPA, given the bitterness is very minimal - good to try, but not a great beer in execution. Sadly, about par for the course for 'sour IPAs'! Not worth trying to find, despite me typically liking both breweries! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from K-1 Beer and Wine in Arlington, Virginia on 07-June-2020 for US$4,49 sampled exactly a week later at my house here in Washington on 14-June-2020.
