Can courtesy of the Duke. Opens with a small gush. Pours mostly clear gold, effervescent, with a big, foamy white head. The aroma holds lemon, pithy grapefruit and pine. Light sweet flavour with bright acidity, lemon and tangerine juice, a little balancing piney bitterness, sour wheat, nips of salt. Light bodied with active, massaging carbonation. Cleansing finish with moderate citric bite, quenching acidity, some melon, more tangerine. Very nice 'session' sour. Quite drinkable.

Growler from the brewery. Drinks more along the lines of a good European Golden Ale than a drab US brewpub example,but I suppose also fully in line with new school US brewing profiles too. Mellow modern hop tones. Mild fruity yeast tones, pinch of white wine, brett comes out very mildly. Pretty unique.
