Typical sour acid aroma. Flavor is a nice balance of sour acidity, sweet and tart tropical fruit taste. Easy drinking.

Pours clear gold into a stein. White head with medium retention recedes to soap rim. Lemon, lime and apricot aromas. Crisp with lime peel and pith upfront turning to mile lemon joy before the lasting earthly cracker finish.

Tap. Worthy Burger, South Royalton, VT. So this was at the end of a long day, and I’m trying to recollect how it was. I’m struggling. I’m guessing juicy and pale. Dunno. I enjoyed it. Went a treat with a chicken burger. The fries in there ate grate.

Bottled Oct 2018. Aroma shows mild straw, light lemon, note of funk. Funk in the flavor is low. Mild lemon juice, funky grain, subtle acid.

Aroma is light acid and spice. The flavor is not super tart or super sour. Lemon, Green apple, and a very light spice mixed in there. Actually kind a delicate. Not over the top at all which is why I like it.

Rosemary, caramel malt, and orange peel aroma. Amber with small head. Mildly sweet rosemary, caramel malt, mildly sour citric acid, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Good body. Pleasant - nice use of rosemary without going over the top.

Mango, passion fruit, guava, rubber, malt, and straw aroma. Cloudy pale yellow with small head. Lightly sweet mango, guava, passion fruit, light biscuit malt, moderately sour citric acid, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Good body. Burnt rubber aftertaste. Not sure if it was just the mixture of the fruits but kept getting a rubber aroma and taste.
