This style can also be soured. I plan on doing a sour version of this next year - sort of a bigger version of a Berliner Weisse. Typical Alt ester profile, but much lighter in color and alcohol.

My batch exhibited a bit of what I can best describe as 'yeast bite', which I'm attributing to the fact that this was the 4th beer I did with the yeast derived from 1 vial of WLP036. Having said that, this is still a beer that I would certainly brew again.
