Level 6 bottleshare. Thanks to new Ken and thanks to Ratebeer for again knocking out the search function on Android and forcing me back to paper and pen! Hazy paleish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, dry and fairly crisp. Tart lemon and light seltzer. Lemon zest on the light tart finish. Quite simplistic and a little too tart.

Bottle at Columbus. It pours cloudy golden with a medium, foamy white head. The aroma is earthy, funky, white grape, musty, gooseberry, barnyard, sherbet, bread and cereal. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, lemon sherbet, musty, gooseberry, vinous and good mouth-pucker with a drying finish. Medium body and high, foamy carbonation. Well rounded, tart and quaffable. Nice.
