Draught at Gourmet Haus. Pours very slightly hazed with small white gear. Great patterns. Citrus and lemon flavor and aroma. Moderate high bitterness. A bit of dank as it warmed.

On draught to a pint glass. Pours slightly hazed with white head that lingers. A bit of funk on both the aroma and flavor, especially on the flavor, a bit of a farmhouse aspect, and also a faint bit of butyric acid.

From can to pint glass. Pours clear gold with a small white head that fades to a collar of dense bubbles and a slight coating over the top. Aroma of lemongrass, lychee, and faint cracker. Flavor is lemon, and I get a bit of an off flavor - maybe acetaldehyde or a bit grassy. Thinnish mouthfeel.

Can. Pours clear golden, medium white head, decent lacing. Aroma is hugely buttered popcorn, some grapefruit, caramel candy, butter. Flavor is light sweet, light plus bitter. Medium body. So I generally don't have a particularly sensitive palate for diacetyl, but this one is overwhelming. Its kind of shocking to me that this could have possibly passed any form of quality control prior to release. Holy hell. I love trying new breweries, and I have heard god things about these guys, but I am not putting any more money here until I hear that they have worked through the bugs.
