Poured from a 16 oz can dated April 23, 2020. Aroma is fairly hoppy with balanced notes.of citrus, tropical fruit and dank, herbal notes. Light notes of lemon and hints of malt. Pours a fairly clear, brilliant gold with a medium large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers. No lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat acidic with light grain notes. Light bitterness and a bit of a mineral water flavor with faint alcohol notes. Moderately strong citrus, herbal, grassy hop notes with a lighter fruitiness. Mouthfeel is light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent hopped sour. It's not in par with some of the Rare Barrel / Cellarmaker collabs, but it's still a tasty and fun beer.
