750ml bottle pours out golden topped with a small head. Nose is big tart apricot old school style tart sour. Taste is more of the big tart sour kick.

Bottle pour at Wakefest, purple with small pinkish head. The aroma is oak, berry, floral, yeast. Slick body, tart berry, light oak, vinous, very good.

Deep copper and bronze coloured body with a very thin, off-white head that shows a centimetre or so in height. Aroma of strong papaya, lime, citrus, lemons and a good touch of brine and salt, but no vanilla components in the nose at least. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong vanilla bite at first from the lactose or creaminess with a big hit of tropical fruits next that do show a little papaya, but more mangoes and citrus fruits and a hint of wheat and lighter malts with a dash of brine at the end that makes this a tad salty. Aftertaste is fruity with the amalgamation from the blend and some light vanilla and creamy lactose notes show through with a light sour and tartness on the end. Overall, a funky beer and one that doesn't really resemble a sour or a spontaneously fermented product, but tastes much more like a gose with the slight salt component and a lot of wheats. Not a great option and definitely makes me think twice about trying other options from this brewery, should I see them again. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 17-July-2020 for US$4,76 sampled at my house here in Washington on 20-July-2020.

2019 can was very light, nice upfront nose and flavor but it's short and lacking in a solid finish

16 oz. Aroma is lemony, coriander, funky, oak. Pours hazy pale golden with a thin collapsing bone-white head. Taste is moderate to highly sour (7.5/10) and funky with flavors of lemon, coriander, oak, funk; finishes dry. Really sour for a witbier. Good and interesting funky take on the style.
