Can. Craft Beer Cellar, Waterbury, VT. Pale, almost luminous gold. Skim of white head. Nose has bright, clean, lemon and lime hop. Touch of funk. Touch of lactic twang. Bit of planed wood. Taste has a soft sweetness. Gets tangy and sour, and dry as a bone. Bright and clean mouthfeel. Dry and tangy finish. Great stuff.

This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a hazy yellow milky color. No head, no lace.
The aroma starts with crisp sour to tart lime juice up front. Some sticky pulp with a subtle sweetness underneath. Sly grassiness. Some pine.
The flavor starts sour lime/citrus sticky pulp. Pine comes back slightly. Sticky lime juicy aftertaste and big sour finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sticky sipping quality about it. Low carbonation.
Overall, a whole lot of lime juice in this with a fair amount of dry hopping. Good for what it is and I could see myself coming back to in the warmer months.
