First sip is pretty tart and juicy, but there is more earth in this and that indeterminable grass-wheat that is also throwing things into the mix. I think I'd prefer something to sip that just had the fruit all forward and crap like some of the other beers I've had, but this isn't a DIPA or even an IPA. As a pale ale, I guess you can have a lot more room to move around.
Tip-in is tart lemon and some hint of orange with minimal carbonation tingle. The middle is a delicious mix of the fruits, the earth, and grasses; this beer has come into its own right here, that's for sure. The finish is tart and then it gets a bit more tart before finally letting go.
Bottom Line: Let down a bit by its own tartness, this is a good enough beverage to try out.
2.5/5
