Tapped at black Tab in NYC. Light stream, golden body, about 1 cm high foam layer. Aroma: hops, somewhat sweeter and fruitier than a German Kölsch. Taste: in contrast, sour taste, tends to be more of a sour beer. Lemon, grapefruit, nevertheless quite pleasant.

Has some milk sugar flavor but drinks surprisingly dry and roasty still.
