Sep 9, 2008 <b>In short: </b> Decent refreshing and tart light summer fruity beer<br />
<b>How: </b>Tap at Vermont Brewers Festival 2008<br />
<b>The look: </b>Cloudy blonde-yellow body topped by a small white head<br />
<b>In long: </b>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.

Sep 4, 2008 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

Aug 13, 2008 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.

Jul 28, 2008 <b>Objectively speaking:</b>
Very pale sour ale that is not quite the wonder that their anti-oxidant acid ale was.
<br />
<b>I like:</b>
Fresh wheat profile adds an interesting twist to the soft lactic whispers that approach lemon dangerously. Light-bodied and highly drinkable. Refreshing indeed.
<br />
<b>I dislike:</b>
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.
