Tap: hazy golden with white head. Aroma has a slight sour twinge up front, turns to sweet citrus fruit rather quickly. Flavor doesn’t have any sourness initially, mostly soft malty hints and just a tad of the sweet citrus again. As it warms some sourness starts to come through, nowhere near what you would expect. Mouthfeel nice creamy/silky smooth. Very easy drink. This wash a sour mash beer Doug tried, don’t know where it falls in style categories. But IMO a saison without any carbonation, would be the best way to describe it.

On tap: Don’t know how to classify this so I put it under an ale. Aroma has orange, lemon, and some alcohol in the aroma. Cloudy dull yellow with a minimal head that fades to nothing within a minute or so. Flavor is light sweet orange up front with a hint of tart lemon in the finish and the slightest hint of bitterness. Sourness increases a tad as it warms, but never becomes more than a background flavor. Could definitely use some more carbonation. Refreshing and easy drinking.
