Big, no giant, fluffy white head! Lemony citrus aroma with a punch. Flavor start out every so slightly sweet before immediately revealing their true colors. The track for this beer is clearly sour with plenty of lemon rind and spices mixing things up. Nice and tart yeasty bits give added dimensions as well. All of these flavors are highlighted by an enormous amount of prickly carbonation. Soapy and funky flavors start to join the rest as the beer progresses. There is a light fruitiness, some banana and perhaps pear, as well. Nice flavors, and you know, it's tough getting used to saying that when "this tastes a bit like dirty laundry" is on your mind! Definitely refreshing. There are a few of this style I like more, like Goose Island Sofie and Brooklyn Sorachi Ace off the top of my head, but this was a damn good beer! Being readily available makes it even more of a winner.

I've seen this one at my local beer store but was hesitant to try it. I'll have to pick one up!
I dig this too, but the cave-aged Hennepin really blew me away (here's a review) - if you ever get yours hands on it, definitely pick some up.
On a different note, what's with the doilie?
I'm gonna go read your review now. You're not the first person to ask about the doilies. My mother-in-law makes them and they are everywhere in my house. I think the white makes bottles, and in this case the cap, stand out. Plus I'm really just a girly man anyway. LOL. Didn't you see my cross stitch http://www.dailybeerreview.com/2009/11/stoudts-double-ipa.html
White does indeed make it stand out, hahaha. You did a lovely job on your cross stitch, btw. I used to do that too! It was fun as hell. Then I picked up knitting and I tend to do that when working with string, these days.
Cheers!
