500mL bottled May 2016, drunk 9/16/16.
Lightly to moderately hazy, cherry-red with a light amber-golden tint and a medium-sized, pink-flecked head atop showing moderate retention.
Good tartness to the nose, certainly, with plentiful wheat and lactic character and not overdone on the cherry acidity. Does seem like there’s brett in here as well and it’s enjoyable, adding light band-aid and lime. Soft wheat lingers in the background and the beer seems quite dry from the nose with a good black pepper phenol character lingering.
Nutty, lightly chewy, and very heavily influenced by the wheat, is the soft texture. Tight carbonation with tangy brett, lacto and malic acid all keeping the beer quite tart, dry, bright and somewhat puckering. No alcohol or flaw with a good depth of flavor and texture/body for such a low abv.
