10 ounce at the Congress Park location - hazy gold with very light soapy lace - lightly carbonated - a nice mellow lacto tartness throughout, with underlying buggy funk, white grape, deep oak, pineapple - light, subtle, and balanced - a good sour ale for summer.

10 ounce at the Aurora Arts location - clear light gold - clean, bright, and light - lightly sweet malt base that knows to get out of the way for the hops - even so, hops are not as assertive and bitter as they need to be in this style - they’re there, mildly dank, lightly citric and peppery - but they have no “pop,” and that light malt character still comes in to swallow them up in the finish - I think I’ve had enough of these to definitely say this brewery is not good at making West Coast IPA.

10 ounce at the Aurora Arts location - hazy dark gold - nose of sweetened lime juice, light buggy funk, Chardonnay, oak - flavor is lightly sweet up front (with that abv, not a surprise), but gets tangy and then moderately sour/acidic late - mostly lactic tartness - notes of lime, peach, white wine, moderate oak - tart finish with lingering oak - it’s good, but not their best effort in this department.

16 oz can. Aroma is sour blueberry with maple on top. Flavor has a small amount of bready malt with an essence of pancake. Tart blueberry with a good amount of maple. It’s almost too sweet.

10 ounce at Aurora Arts - hazy medium gold - nose is lovely oak, light funk, mild lacto and acetobacter - flavor is drying acidity, but not overly sour or acidic - nice balance - bright lacto leads to light acetic acid in the finish - white grape, oak, white peach - light buggy funk - lingering oak and acid in the finish - quite nice.

Pint can picked up from the brewery today - I think I need to come to terms with the fact that this brewery doesn’t make good ipas that aren’t hazy - this is both too sweet and not bitter enough for the style - that hop character and bitterness really try to break through in the finish, but it is not enough.
