2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours a hazy yellow/amber and maybe has a hint of orange in the color. Head is large and bright white. Aroma was very fruity, with almost no malt or hop presence. Carbonation was on the higher side, but the overall mouthfeel felt true to style, even if a bit gravely. Unfortunately, there was an overpowering taste of orange rind that kept me from really enjoying the glass.

Poured a hazy golden color with a large white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus fruits, orange peel, earth, brett, funk, and grape. Taste of citrus fruits, light green apple, tart grape, yeast, light spices, and orange peel. Gritty mouthfeel.

4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
750 at the brewery. Light amber/hazy light orange in color with a very large long lasting head. Aroma is tart lemon, and funky, with some musty belgian yeast and light notes of spice. Taste is a bit more subdued than the aroma, some weird funk, along with lemon rind, must/bready yeast and spices. very active carbonation, prickly across the palate. overall very dry, moderately tart and enjoyable. Too bad you can’t get a bottle of this to take home with you.

Tap @ SD. Poured a hazy golden yellow color with an off-white head. The aroma had a mild tartness and even a little leather funk in it. The flavor was citrusy lemon and yeasty. The was light and very refreshing. A could put away a few of these.
