On tap at Moon Under Water, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light lemon and plenty of lacto. Flavour is yogurty, with subdued lemon and plenty of lacto. Light and fluffy, but not much depth. Okay.

Poured from the tap. Clear gold with small white head. Mild lemon, light lacto, hint of vanilla and a very feint hint of toasted meringue. Decent.

Pale, slight haze, no head though. The aroma is quite a bit yeastier than it should be. The lemon is muted...so not really getting the character I'd expect from a dessert sour. On the palate it's got that bit of lacto, it's lemony. The vanilla shows a touch. So it's going in that dessert sour direction, but clearly the intent is that it's still a beer-first character, and the dessert works in that context. I am not sure it's the tastiest approach, but I appreciate it.
