What Our Editors Thought

“Wheat nose with just a touch of saison-like fermentation ester. Dry but fruity in the flavor, as stone fruit builds midtone body while the citrus tang sweeps the highs.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Dark yellow in color with a frothy white head that lasts a while. An interesting, layered medley of fruit greets the nose—honey, tangerine, mimosa-like. Tangerine juice leads the taste, with some soft woody notes. Very pleasant and addictive with an assertive sourness that overpowers any sweetness and drives the fruit flavors to the background. These come out to play in the finish, with the apricot especially lingering on the tongue. The aroma is definitely the highlight of this one.”

What the Brewers Say

“Neon Cylinders is an intensely fruited sour ale series. This version, Sun Glow, is a kettle sour featuring ripping bright sunshine flavors from apricot, tangerine, and cardamom.”
