Hazy golden and orange coloured body with a very thin and ultra-fast-dying tan and off-white head that starts at only a centimetre in height and goes to nothing - just like a cider, after a few seconds. Aroma of soured yeast, brett, lactobilly notes, grass, hay, flowers and a bit of deep apricots, peaches and citrus fruits - quite strong in the nose, complex and long-lasting. Light to Medium-bodied; Super effervescent (that's where all the bubbles from the head went!), with a deep and astringent, pungent, throw up (puke) like flavour with some dry floral and grassy elements, but the yeast, lactose, slightly soured fruit and pure funk flavours show throguh and make this all a jumbled mess. Aftertaste is pungent, deep, assertive and again, just plain funky. The lactobilly and odd brett notes come through, but so does some bready yeast and a lot of soured fruit like underripe apricots and pure lemons. Overall, not a great beer and way too funky to seriously consider as a beer for the style...it feels like an accident that they were willing to sell to us masses...and they got at least ONE idiot! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 12-September-2020 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 24-October-2020.
