75CL Purchased Locally. Thanks Heather. Split 3 ways. reddish orange appearance. hazy, fizzy sprite carbonation that fades quickly. The aroma is pretty much as I expected. passionfruit, mango, tropical aromas. oooh that's sour! painfully sour, lemon, lime, lots of mango and pineapple and sure, passion fruit. It's tasty but hard to get through more than a few sips.

Bottle, shared with wife. pours hazy golden, medium fizzy white head, dissipates quickly with minimal residual or lacing. Aroma is passionfruit indeed, undertone of sour mash, hints of oak aging. Flavor is medium tart, not much funk, but nice sour notes, lactic passionfruit. Medium light body, spritzy carbonation. Good one.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 2/21/2017. Pours slightly hazy pale golden/yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with solid retention, that reduces to a thin ring of bubbles pretty quickly. Minimal lacing on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, lemon, lime, pear, green apple, pineapple, berry, white grape, hay, straw, oak, pepper, wheat, and cracker; with light notes of leathery/musty funk, white wine vinegar, vanilla, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, passion fruit, oak, and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy/tart/tangy passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, lemon, lime, pear, green apple, pineapple, berry, white grape, hay, straw, oak, pepper, wheat, and cracker; with light notes of leathery/musty funk, white wine vinegar, vanilla, and yeast/oak earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tart/sourness; light yeast/oak spiciness and fruit tang on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/sour passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, lemon, lime, pear, green apple, pineapple, berry, white grape, hay, straw, oak, pepper, light funk/vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, passion fruit, oak, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/tart/sourness balance; slightly increasing pucker after the finish. Moderate dryness from tart/sourness and carbonation, increasing through the glass. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy/acidic, and lightly tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is awesome. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is a fantastic fruited Berliner weisse! All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, passion fruit, oak, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the balanced sour/lactic/drying finish. Not super heavy on Lacto like most Bruery sours tend to be. Very well balanced with fruit and malts, with pleasant levels of Brett complexity. A highly enjoyable offering.

On tap at PIB 2017, pours a hazy golden with a tiny head. Aroma brings out lots of acidic, ascorbic passionfruit, with lots of lacto. Flavour is dominated by tart citric passionfruit, with a bit of lacto and aggressive but fitting acidity. Excellent.

On tap at Atomic Liquors. Pours a hazy amber gold with a very small white head that dissipates completely. Aroma has a sour passion fruit note supported by sweet light fruits and a bit of wheat. Flavor also tart passionfruit with some lemon and a hint of wheat underlying.

Draft at Churchkey. Poured a hazy yellow color with a medium sized white head. Effervescent character. Light peach notes, passion fruit. Sweet with less bitterness and a heck of a lot less sour notes than the yumberry one. More like light, pleasant tartness here. Decent.

Lemon, cucumber, red grape nose. Hazy amber, thick head, no retention. Very tart persimmon and peach. Light body, soft carbonation, very tart. Not my favorite fruit and rather simple, but enjoyable. Stone fruits are more prevalent and pleasant when warm. Did not pair well with burritos, but I knew that going in.
