Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is full of the typical SARA house culture. Lemon, green grapes, faint pear and red apple. Hints of tropical fruit. Light grain notes and light oak. Hints of floral esters. Pours a fairly clear, gold color with a medium sized, thick, creamy white head that recedes somewhat quickly to a thin film that linger sin clumps on the edges. Medium lacing and faint legs. Flavor has a moderate acidity, but not sharp at all. Light sweetness with fairly dry finish and light bitterness. Medium lemon and grape notes with lighter red apple and pear. Much lighter tropical fruit and floral esters. Hints of oak. A sit warms a start to pick up a light, herbal phenolic note. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, if no one told me this was kvass inspired, I wouldn't have considered that as a possibility at all. Instead, this is a great SARA beer with a great expression of the SARA house culture. People are sleeping on this one for sure.
