From the label

“Tart, hoppy, and in no mood for your nonsense. This pale sour ale brings a bright, refreshing pucker up front, followed by punchy hop character and a crisp, dry finish. Light in color but big in attitude, it's a sharp little number brewed for people who like their beer sour, their hops bold, and their conversations short.”
