Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 16 ounce can into tulip glass; canned on 3/15/2019, best before 6/13/2019. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy medium golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/zest, wheat, cracker, and white bread dough; with lighter notes of pine, peppercorn, clove, banana, bubblegum, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops, fruity/spicy yeast, and moderate bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/zest, wheat, cracker, and white bread dough; with lighter notes of pine, peppercorn, clove, banana, bubblegum, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, floral, grassy bitterness; and peppery yeast spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/zest, peppercorn, clove, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light pine/banana/bubblegum, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops, fruity/spicy yeast, and moderate bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/spiciness balance; and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and fairly crisp/sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 5.5%. Overall this is a very nice hazy pale ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops, fruity/spicy yeast, and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/spicy/drying finish; great soft feel. This one confused me at first, but it looks like they used Kviek yeast for it. Nice Citra/Mosaic profile. Juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops with fruity/spicy yeast; and a nice wheat/oat/malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example; even if not what I initially expected.

Lemon, sour milk, wheat malt, and straw aroma. Slightly hazy golden yellow with moderate white head. Lightly sweet melon, wheat malt, moderately bitter lactic acid, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Good body and balance. Very nice.

7/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Crisp and clear golden and peach coloured body with a bright and noticeable two centimetre tall pure white head with thousands of small bubbles rising from the bottom nicely. Aroma of yeast, bread, grass, grain, a touch of peaches and tart berries with a touch of hay noticeable at the end - nice and light throughout. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and dry crisp tart fruity flavour that shows peaches, apricots, plums, pears, apples and a dose of hay at the end that adds to the complexity, but leaves the taste focused in two areas - dryness and tartness. Aftertaste shows a nice balance of sweetness, tartness and dry flavours, with a very easy-drinking fruitiness at the end. Overall, a nice and fruity, but dry beer with a good punch from the tart flavours and berries, but easy-drinking and still quite effervescent. Great to sample and if you like Berliners with a fruity appeal, this one would be right up your alley, if you can find it! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from BeerTopia in Omaha, Nebraska on 27-June-2018 for US$1,67 sampled at my house here in Washington on 15-March-2019.

On tap at Fernson, pours a deep dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma brings out plenty of bourbon barrels, with some wood varnish, and moderate tartness. Flavour matches this impression pretty well, with bourbon upfront, with tart red fruits, light perfume and wood varnish, and a touch of vanilla. Not really any roast, and the slight tartness isn't exactly welcome - but it's not too bad. Nice attempt, but needs lots of work.

On tap at Fernson, pours a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out some red fruits and bready malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with a bit of red fruitiness and bready caramel. Not integrated too well and lacking body even for a red. Lame beer.

On nitro tap at Fernson, pours a deep dark red with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out toasted malt and lightly tart red fruits. Flavour is rather tart and lacking body, with red fruits, sourness, and earthy malt. This can't be optimal - the tartness and staleness don't strike me as an on-target beer.

On tap at Fernson, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is very faint, with light effervescence from the yeast and subdued hops. Flavour is almost nonexistent - it's certainly dry, there's some bitterness but little in the way of hop character, and not much in the way of champagne notes. Puzzling beer - not sure what they were going for, as its characterless.

On tap at Fernson, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of lacto upfront, with a touch of tart citrus. Flavour is quite yogurty, with lacto dominating, and finishing assertively tart. Pleasant but simple. Alright.
