Can, undated, drunk 6/16/18.
Lime-tinged brass. White head fades immediately to nothing. Lightly hazy.
Brett and mild citrusy play nicely in the nose. The combination actually makes it smell very pear-like. Dry and not boozy or sharply estery.
In the mouth it's mega dry with light lime rind-like Brett notes. Light lemon balm and soft, dull tannin. Initially it even seems too dry, but the spritzy carbonation adds back some perceived body and the apple grows lightly juicy, while the tannin gets chewy, as it warms. No sweetness ever, but it never gets astringent, either. Very low hop bitterness.
