On tap. Cloudy yellow color. Sour aroma with minimal fruit. Taste is sweet-fruit, lemon upfront with a sour-flemish sour ale-like aftertaste. Very enjoyable.

Growler shared by kmweaver. Proper cloudy lemon yellow body with a white head. Soft lemon and sweet, creamed wheat nose, some funky BO for sure, comes across as sort of a bile/vinegar note. Flavor is intensely puckery and sour, straight acid, yum! Almost resembles straight lemon juice, but there’s development of some orange and soft wheat notes in the back. Not exceedingly deep or complex, but damn good for what it is.

Growler, courtesy of Kmweaver. Thanks Ken! Pours a clear, golden yellow with a small white head. Nose is very weak, I didn’t smell too much, maybe a bit of sour-ish wheat. However, the flavor packs the punch. Very sour, akin to lemon juice. Kind of has this weird aftertaste which brings my overall impression down again.

Draft @ Media location. Pours a hazy, whitish-golden color; thin white head with solid, fine-bubbled lacing. Tart, basic lemony biting citrus and light, husky wheatiness; straightforward, sour, decently refreshing. Lively levels of carbonation. Medium mouthfeel: very strong, sharp levels of citrus bitterness and husky wheat; refreshing, and alive in the mouth, but I can’t honestly say it’s terribly approachable at first; like overly tart sweet tart candy - but it grows on you, and becomes more drinkable. Medium finish: lasting citrus sourness and soft wheat edges; very concentrated tartness throughout.

Pours yellow and hazy with a white head. Smells sour and lactic with some tarte citrussy hints. Tastes lactic with lots of citrus and some dry malt. Mouthfeel is on the tarte side. Light sour finish. Enjoyable.
