3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Found this bottled in a multi-pack at Binny’s in St. Charles, Illinois. Very slightly hazy dark yellow pour with a small, foamy white head, slightly fruity, mild malty nose, nice, fruit cocktail flavor, with grass, wheat, lime and apple. Crisp, dry finish. This was an interesting beer and actually quite session able.

In short: Decent refreshing and tart light summer fruity beer
How: Tap at Vermont Brewers Festival 2008
The look: Cloudy blonde-yellow body topped by a small white head
In long: This light beer has fruity flavours upfront. Fruits flavours are mainly the tropical kinds along with a canned fruity salad taste and lemon. Thin body, medium tartness and light sourness. A nice refreshing light beer but lacked the crispness, sharp lemonade edge and all the I-don’t-know-what that make a Berliner Weiss. From my limited understanding of this not-too-frequent style I thought that this Odd Notion was more of a light tart fruit beer than a Berliner Weiss per say. I’m still not sure this is a different beer than the Summer Draft Odd Notion. Enjoyable but this wasn’t my first Odd Notion, I used to think that professional modeling was an underpaid job explaining why they are so skinny.

Sampled at brewery. Pours a pale yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of tart lemon, grass and a hint of wheat. Flavor follows the aroma and is tart and tangy with a thin body

Sampled on draft at the Rivertowne Pub in North Huntingdon PA this beer poured a yellow-gold color with a medium sized white head. The aroma was dryish and tart lemon. The flavor was tart, tangy, a bit dry and had a moderate citrus element. The finish was long and tart. Reminded me of SweetTart candy.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
(Draught) Pours a cloudy pale yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of grass, wheat, skunk, and some metallic. Flavor of moderately sour lemon, grass, and wheat.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Objectively speaking:
Very pale sour ale that is not quite the wonder that their anti-oxidant acid ale was.
I like:
Fresh wheat profile adds an interesting twist to the soft lactic whispers that approach lemon dangerously. Light-bodied and highly drinkable. Refreshing indeed.
I dislike:
Quite muddled in mouth where it lacks the sharpness and decision that would separate it from tarter than average wheat beers. Not enough character to really desire a second glass.
