1 pint .9 fl oz bottle. Pour is a slightly cloudy yellow gold with some bubbles and a big white head slowly settling head. Aroma is initially wheat with some sweet fruitiness (cherries?). Taste is much brighter, tarter, and sweeter than I would have imagined. Taste is cherries, lime, lemon and finishing with a bit of wheat texture. This is my first beer of this style, and once I got over the shock of the taste, quite enjoyed it. A very tasty summer beer.

Very cloudy golden pour that seems to glow when held up to the light, with a large, foamy head that shrinks rapidly - moderately tart aroma, with copious citrus fruits, wheat malt, a tiny bit of earthy funk far in the back - very crisp, with tingly carbonation - a very clean tartness that borders on sour, but never quite crosses that border, remaining lemony and refreshingly tart throughout - mouthfeel becomes creamy after the carbonation calms down a bit, and a slight mineral character settles in - the tartness drops out in the finish, leaving behind wheat and other grains, light orange sweetness, a hint of breadiness - very light, tasty and refreshing, and probably a great "gateway" into the world of sour beer for the uninitiated.

500ml liter bottle. Poured into a wine glass with a huge head that fades into a thick surface covering lacing. Now this is a sight, the color is the most palest color and still cloudy. The beer contains so much light yet one cannot see through it. Aroma is pilsner-tart-lemon with a spicy refreshing wheatiness. Taste shines more so with the tartness. Starts off with light wheat, leads into a strong, sharp, acidic tartness and finishes lemon-y refreshing. Aftertaste is spicy wheat and kind of dry. The tartness is really nice and just gives a soft prick in the bottom of the throat. The carbonation is above average, the combination of the light body and the tartness with the lemon flavors makes this extremely refreshing an easy drinking. It reminds me a lot of a light and tart Belgian Wit. Very thirst quenching, returnable, and recommended. For a relatively fresh bottle there is a lot of schmutz.
