Pours a clear, copper-gold, with minimal head. Aroma is hoppy, bready, with some fruit and grassiness. Flavor is grassy, bready, with some citrus and tropical notes, and a touch of underlying sweetness. Slightly bitter in the finish.

500 ml purchased at 7 Eleven, Kittery. Bright golden color, full fluffy head. Aroma is very lactic, zesty citrus, white bread. The lactic character is the most predominate element in this sour ale. Apricot, and maybe tangerine is noticed. The yeast seems kind of like Brettanomyces. Not bad but very lactic.

16 ounce can purchased at 7 Eleven, Kittery. Mostly clear Amber color, thin head. Well, nothing but fruit in the aroma, melon, apricot skin, yeasty fruits. Bubblegum?? The flavor is not what I expected at all. Mild toasted grain base with odd fruit hints. More yeast hints rather than actual hop flavor. Overall, this is bit of an odd duck. Not a repeat visit.
