Draught @ Roasthouse, Frederick, MD. Pours murky yellow with small white head, looks nearly like egg liquor. Sour, grainy aroma with estery and citric touches. Sour, vinous and grainy flavour with notes of yeast and C-hops and touches of malt. Vinous aftertaste. Quite reasonable.

Thanks Carrigan for the can! Poured into a snifter showing well filtered honey yellow with no head. The nose shows a lot of forward cereal malts. The palate is light bodied and well carbonated. Moderately tart with pronounced mango and guava juice forwardness followed by a lightly malty aftertaste.

Can shared at CBC Clerks during the Cad's leaving to. Thanks to nimbleprop. Pours hazy orange-gold with a fading white head. The nose holds lemon and dried mango, light sweet flavour with moderate tartness, some acidic burn, tangerines. Light to medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Fairly quenching finish, nice tart lemon and mango character. Good stuff.

Keg thanks to Nimbleprop. It pours crazy cloudy orange with a small white head. The aroma is sweaty, salty, lactic, musty, funk, tropical fruits and kitty litter. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, juicy, fruity, good mouth - pucker, sour candy, lactic, sherbet, mango, sour peach, passion fruit. pineapple and minerals with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Nice sour candy vibes. Decent sour, taste is better than aroma.

Rich deep dark brown coloured body with a nice, two to three centimetre tall off-white head with a nice bit of mvement throughout. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rich malty flavours dominate with some good sweetness and maple/honey tastes and a rich nutty quality and a hint of molasses and even smoked peat towards the end. Aftertaste shows some grain and more bitter nut flavours and a dose of alcohol warmth with a nice bitterness from hops and the earthy malts. Overall, a smooth brown, considering the alcohol and showing a nice level of complexity throughout - nice to sample on tap! I sampled this sixteen ounce pour on draught at Whole Foods in Pentagon City (Arlington), Virginia on 22-September-2017 for US$5,00 sampled at the end of my driveway!

Bright, ultra hazy pink coloured body with a big ruby and even light violet tint with no head at all. Aroma of raspberries, sour lemons, no malt, no hops, no real sugars and a very tart yeast flavour. Light-bodied; Strong herbal and grassy dryness at first that gives way immediately for the tart and fruity notes and a dash of sour and funky yeast notes with a touch of sugar (from the fruit) hanging around and some wheat, but this is very easy drinking. Aftertaste is dry, but very tart, with a lot of raspberries and fruit shining through, but not enough complexity or range to be a great beer by any means, still nice and enjoyable, especially in the summer, still! Overall, a nice and we'll executed fruit-based Berliner-weisse that shows well and is super-easy-to-drink. Worth grabbing if you can find it!
