First sip is wildly different than anything I had expected. The citrus bite was expected, but the raw fruit juice concentrate was way different than pretty much anything I've had before. The bitterness is right through the drink, and it culminates in a sourness that, unlike previous encounters with sour beers, is not off-putting. The beer is very dry, and it is making me thirsty. I hope I'm not becoming a hipster.
Tip-in is pretty much devoid of carbonation and a bit of orange and grapefruit to keep things interesting. The middle comes along with a giant whopping of sourness and stringent yeast. It's... pretty rough at first, but time is its friend, and it eases up. The finish, however, keeps bringing back the kind of grapefruit tangy-bitterness. As you drink it, the whole thing gets better.
Bottom Line: A beer project that I will continue to follow with great interest.
