Pours opaque amber with a thin white head. Aroma of flat malt. Taste has spice notes, some lactose and fruity notes, mango. Palate has more lactose, some salt, lingering salty malt and fruity notes. Good.

Brewery draught, 6/15/25.
Clear, deep golden-maize.
Fresh, juicy apple in the nose with no malo-lactic/wild fermentation (or very little of it). Clean with a touch of Brett, perhaps and a good balance of sugar and tannin.
Soft, juicy, perfectly balanced with just enough residual sugar to comfort and provide excellent flavor while still allowing full apple character and moderate tannin to balance and add complexity.

Brewery draught, 6/15/25.
Heavily hazy, bronze-maize-golden. Firm, small, off-white head.
Juicy and with some chalk, mineral, earth and light spruce/pine. A touch of punchiness, but softening with white grape, sweet lime and softer, rounder tropical fruits. Rich, malty, supportive body with no alcohol or flaw noted.
Juicy, soft, but with above average acidity for the style. I didn't look at the hops and guessed Galaxy, Motueka and Nelson. Definitely got some dry chalk/earth and spruce which made me think Galaxy. Did get the fruit salad, lime, white wine and zesty spicy greenery from the NZ hops, but not really much classic Citra. Regardless, it's flavorful, balanced and juicy with maybe a touch more dryness/chalk and acidity than I'd care for.

Brewery draught, 6/15/25.
Heavily hazy, bronze-maize-golden with a small, white head, moderately-well-retained.
Juicy and bright with round citra but seemingly ample acidity. Thick wheat allowing for nuttiness and reduced hop edges, with mango, pineapple and tangerine lingering.
Fruity, juicy, amply bitter as NP is apt to be. Soft, dense, thick and wheaty with excellent depth and attenuation. Round and fruity, clean and shining with bright Citra notes of all complexity.

750mL bottle, blend 3, from the brewery, drunk 6/10/25.
Clear, golden-apricot-peach. Small, fairly well-retained, peach-tinted head.
This is everything I want in a fruited wild ale nose. Lovely leathery, juicy, rich, expressive fruit but low sweetness. Brett for days with no acetic and very minimal, not acidic/aggressive lacto character. Structured and attenuated malts balance without taking the emphasis off the fruit and yeast. Oak is low, with no big tannin.
Juicy and perky with bright fruit notes immediately and good acid that is rounded by honey-like malts and soft oak. Excellent malt depth with good attenuation. Just enough malt to keep it soft, succulent and balanced, making it easy to drink the beer, instead of chore as some American sours can be. Fruit is tart, leathery, juicy; just absolutely beautifully-done. Beer is balanced and flavorful with nothing aggressive and no heavy acidity ever building up. I rate beers a lot more highly than I used to these days (I think the happier you are with life, the higher your ratings generally are). But I wholeheartedly stand behind the numbers on this one. This is everything the style needs to move towards to revive it and make it appealing to newer beer drinkers.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8.5 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8.5
Canned 4/21/25, drunk 5/15 and 5/29/25.
Heavily hazy, bright cranberry-tangerine. Small, pinkish head quickly to spotty cover.
Intense, juicy, authentic fruits enveloping the nose. Lush and soft with no excessive sugar or acid. Very balanced.
Juicy, soft, rich and fruity with earthy and mildly tart cranberry coupled with soft, bready malts. Citrus isn't overdone either and all-in-all, this is a surprisingly easy drinking "sour". Very wheaty, soft texture, good attenuation. Would like a bit more heft/chew/depth to it, but that's about the only critique I can muster here.
