I like it. Herbal and grassy hop nose, slightly floral. Semi-dry palate, more grassy and herbal hop flavors. Light bodied but flavorful, easy to drink and excellent summer afternoon beer. Pale gold, modest head. Honeyed malts.

2 month old pint can A: Surprisingly dark clear amber gold and even has a tan head. Head is small but long lasting. S: Light but nice floral, grassy scent with honeysuckle and sandalwood. T: Moderate bitterness with bright herb and lemon hop notes. Clean grain and wood malts with very low sweetness. Just slightly brash but largely missing the apple/pear. M: Light and slick with average carbonation. O: Not too far from style. Fun without being too far out.

Ever so slightly hazy golden and light peach coloured body with a fairly large, but very fast-fading off-white head that starts at around three centimetres tall and fades to just about nothing only a few seconds later. Aroma of very dry, ultra-soured and tart, bretty and lactobilly notes with a hint of dryness from spontaneous fermentation, but most of the nose seemingly comes from just the apples themselves. Light-bodied; Very effervescent apple flavour shows at first with some yeast and bretty notes, but this almost feels like a cider at first with how smooth the malts are with the fresh apples and very dry notes that finish up the flavour while leaving a bit of a room for some sweetness, but this is dry and very tart throughout. Aftertaste shows dry, soured apple qualities more than anything else with a sliver of malts coming through and finishing with the smallest note of a residual sugar sweetness and not much else, which is okay, especially for the style, but some noticeable yeast here too at the end. Overall, a nice dry and tart fruit-based beer with some funky yeast notes, but nothing too complex or spontaneously fermented that would me make me recommend that you go out and find this beer immediately - it was nice to try and the age probably helped out on this one, but it was never going to be a showstopper, but that's okay, since it was great to sample in the first place! I sampled this 37,5 cL caged and corked bottle, purchased from Crystal City Wine Shop in Arlington, Virginia on 29-March-2019 for US$9,90 sampled a bit over three years later at my house here in Washington, a few blocks away on 05-July-2022.
