A twist on that most refreshing of beer styles, a light golden base, kettle soured and then flavoured with traditional coriander. Fermented with our house yeast and then dry hopped in conditioning with judicious quantities of Mosaic & Citra. A quenchingly citrus sour that’ll twist your tongue in knots.

Poured up on tap at RBWG16 where it exhibits a gold body that has a slight haze to it and supporting a near white head of foam. The aroma is kind of tart and lemon and grainy wheat. Pretty darn inviting. The taste delivers adequate tartness with an acidic lemon like sensation. It then dries out and ends with a pleasing kind of light wheat almost cracker like note.
