Can 1 pint. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Citrusy tart aroma, some yeast - quite refreshing. Lightish body for 5,6%, again very fruity, vitamin C, dry orange note, slightly tart with a dry finish. Fruity throughout. A pleasant quaffer. 121017

Tap. Reservoir, Waterbury, VT. Hazy, light gold. Thinnnest ring of white head. Nose has baked apple. Cider lolly. Mouldy lemon bloom. Some bready, apple pie sweetness. Taste is earthy, sour apple tart. Some sweetness on the lips. Light body. Maybe a little watery. Bright and breezy. Finish is mostly dry, with more apple tartness.

This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a soft hazy burnt orange color with no head or lacing.
The smell took in a big funky and earthiness rolling in some lemon to citrus rind and pulls in subtle dry woody aromas.
The flavor shapeshifts the aroma into the flavor adding a light sour and tang in there. Light tang in the aftertaste but not overbearing. Quick wet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Sour/tang/funk shows effect but not burdensome. Gets slightly sticky as it warms.
Overall, Belgian styled pale ale, yes, I see it as one with Hermit Thrush adding their \"funky\" to \"sour\" take on it. I’d have again.
