16oz can pours a watery purple, head faded fast. Lemon jumps out in the nose, under ripe berry, manishewitz wine, fruit snax. Flavor is sweet, more fruit snacks, some purple drank, missing some acidity. Finishes off dry, low acid. Weird.

Goblet at the brewery pours a murky yellow with some creamy white head.  Nose has marshmellow, mango sherbet, orange creamcicle.  Flavors are all the same, very sweet with sherbet and ice cream, fake orange, sort of those Circus Peanut candies.  Off dry, creamy finish.  A bit too much vanilla for my liking.  6 3 6 3 12

Couple drafts at the brewery come a clear gold, lacey white head.  Nose has lemon, lime, grapefruit, corn.  Flavor is simple and zippy, there's a grist backbone but it's soapy, citrus, lime and lemon.  Dry bitter finish.  Nice.  8 4 7 4 14 Good beer.

On tap at Brewpub in Lewes. Number one with a bullet. Honey gold pour is slightly hazy with a small creamy white head. Sour malt aroma hints at lime zest and coconut. First sip is tart, yeasty and amazing. Wonderfully complex with hints of lime, coconut and sweet cake. Quite delicious and one of the best sour ales I've had in some time.

On tap at Brewpub in Lewes. Number one with a bullet. Cloudy pale gold pour. Tangy fruit aroma is redolent of mango. Flavor is sweet mango, tart passion fruit and yeasty funk. Pleasantly sour without being overdone.
