Fairly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a decent two to three centimetre tall off-white head that fades quickly and leaves just about nothing on top after a minute or so, with a nice subtle haze, making this more of a golden hue at around 25 per cent opaque. Aroma of the funky, bretty, perhaps lactobilly notes with a bigger yeast and bready quality and then some very subtle hops that have a tiny bit of bitterness and a grassy bite with a light dose of flowers and grapefruit without too much else. Light to Medium-bodied; Crisp and strong funky sour-ish oaky and dry flavours show through with a hint of hibiscus and even some lemon zest, but the malts are stronger here and provide some of the funky quality, but giving it a nice balance. Aftertaste shows both a light hoppiness and some funky malts, bringing them both together nicely with a light sweetness [from fruit], but more fruity and smoothness at the end. Overall, a relatively interesting beer that shows some funkiness as I was expecting, but more of a plain Belgian beer added to a bit more bitterness from some higher alpha acid hops. Overall, a decent enough option, especially from funky side of things, but this has a bit too much baggage to be considered a proper sour or wild beer without the hops here. Nice to sample and great to be involved in this throughout, but hopefully they continue to produce even more as the times go on. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 12-August-2020 for US$2,99 sampled at my house here in Washington.

12oz can pours a lightly hazy gold with some cloudy, white head. Nose has fresh orange, grapefruit too, pretty much just citrus. Flavor is lightly sour but more citrus rind than anything, orange, meyer lemon, a little medicinal. Lightly tart finish.

Brown-black pour with a medium tan head that diminishes steadily to a film. Patches of lace. Roast coffee, malt and chocolate in the nose. Medium body with flavors of espresso, bittersweet chocolate and roast malt. The finish is roasty with a coffee and malt aftertaste. Above average overall.

Ever so slightly hazy copper, blonde and gold coloured body with a deep two to three centimetre tall tan head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of grass, flowers, hay and a touch of citrus, but fairly mild in the nose. Medium-bodied; Deep definite vinifera grape and dry herbal notes are evident with a light herbal and very floral bite, with a tiny amount of grapefruit, citrus and some mild hop bitterness. Some light sweetness is noticeable at the end, with a touch of fruit jam and light caster sugar! Aftertaste is dry, very herbal and intensely focused on the sauvignon blanc and grapey flavours with some light must and resinous notes noticeable towards the end with a very mild hop bitterness that is picked up, but a good balacne of malt with some good, soft sugars, too. Overall, a nicely balanced new school IPA that isn't hazy, but does show some sugars and non-pungent/bitter hops with a good balance of malts. Good to try, especially fresh. Worth trying to find if you like grape-y and dry IPAs. I sampled this pint-sized, sixteen ounce can, purchased from Costco in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 22-May-2020 for US$2,69 sampled at my house here in Washington on 26-May-2020, just four days later, a few blocks away.
