7/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Hazy golden and orange coloured body with a slightly deeper, copper coloured tint and a very faint, fast-dying thin, single centimetre tall pale white head that fades to just about nothing a few seconds later. Aroma of soured and tart fruit with the berries showing through at first and then adding some lemons and citrus along the way with a dry herbal and grassy note, but more emphasis on the soured fruits, pale wheat and dry notes. Light to perhaps Medium-bodied; Deep soured and tart raspberry notes are the strongest by far that have a good balance of sweetness and tart flavours, but some wheat follows right behind and also a dry kick of grass and hay also comes through, all ending with a very short salt and brine kick at the end. Aftertaste is dry, deep and incredibly tart and pungent, in a good way, with the fruits and malt blending well and leaving things sweet, dry and soured (more of that than anything else, of course). Overall, a nice berliner, with a lot of dry and almost herbal flavours, but more of a wheat and especially a soured fruit note than anything else. Good to sample and perhaps my first beer from Alabama?!? I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Krog St Market (Hop City Store) in Atlanta, Georgia on 30-May-2018 for US$1,89 sampled at my house here in Washington on 14-June-2020 after returning my my last trip to the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, a very thin creamy sweetness. Crisp piney citric hops. Good crisp piney orange and tangerine. Nice light touch of mango led tropical fruits. Trace of pineapple but no Sabro in this one. Whisper of Wai-Iti lime as in I know it should be here and I am seeking it and finding it, no coincidence in those events - whatsoever! Crisp finish. Really nice IPA, right up my Strasse. Bright, crisp and hoppy without being laden down with a filthy green skunk. Could drink this all night and into the wolfing hours.
