Bright golden colour. Floral aroma with a light woody tartness. Light tartness on the palate. Quite refreshing, with floral accents. Easy-going example of an American sour. It is not puckering, just lightly tart. It is nice to see the sour concept used for such a low-key session beer, actually. It finishes sweetish with only a light lactic tartness.

Draft. Heard this beer was a special blend to bring to San Francisco Beer Week, but don’t really know. Amber beer with a cream colored head. Light earthy, light tart aroma. Tart flavor with light wheat and light earth. Medium bodied. Tartness lingers with light wheat and light earth.
