On tap at The Bruery Anniversary Party and on tap at the Berkeley Tasting Room. Easily my favorite beer from them so far, and my favorite dry hopped sour. Brilliantly clear yellow hued body with a moderate white head. Aromas bursting with tropical fruit, citra, earthy and tropical funk, lactic sourness, a hint of oak. Flavors are puckering and brightly grassy and tropical. Elegant sourness. Stone fruit, mango and some resin. Medium carbonation, and dry. Better than Le Terroir by a good bit. Absolutely excellent.
