Copper colour with a small off white head, slight malt aroma with a tangy flavour and finish

Pours a slightly hazy golden with an airy, frothy off-white head. Aroma of some piny English hops and pale malt with some mild tartness. Body starts very effervescent with a tart lemon citrus flavor and some acidic warmth. Definitely seems infected to me, but would otherwise be a pretty standard APA.

Rating: 2.3/5.0
Drinkability: 4/10
Score: *+/4

Appearance: Pours a hazed amber body with an explosive, run-away white head. Smell: A tart, twangy aroma akin to cooked berries along with a dose of pine. Taste: A beer that begins and ends tart, with some mild malt flavors and English hops in between. Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Questionably well carbonated. Drinkability: A "flagship beer" that’s flying at half-mast.

Moderate sweet malty aroma.Light hoppy and yeast aroma. Slightly cloudy yellowish amber color with creamy ivory head. Moderate head retention Slightly acidic sour initial flavor followed by light hop bitterness in the finish. Light body with a watery mouthfeel. Hopefully an unrepresentative sample.
