"250ml bottle
3.5% ABV
I tried this beer on August 2, 2008 after purchasing from one of the local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a translucent gold colour with a thin white head, and tons of particles. The aroma was lambic with a twist of lemon. The mouthfeel was SOUR! It was light bodied, champagne-like carbonation - and did I mention it was SOUR! The flavour was overwhelimngly lemon with some sour malt as well.
I thought the first mouthful of this was powerful..........little did I know it was the mouthful that was the easiest to tolerate."

"Bottle: Poured a golden color beer with a small bubby head with minimal retention and no lacing. Aroma of tart notes with huge lemon syrup which I don’t really know what to make of. Taste consists of huge lemony syrup which is nothing close to actual lemon with some light tart notes. Zit is a weird experiment after all and one that could have provided worse results. Totally untraditional but somewhat drinkable afterall."

"Ugh, the lemon! The only thing that wasn't lemon was the appearance - copper-bronze colour with some white cap. It's got lemon aroma, lemon flavouring and especially lemon bitterness. Too much for me, I couldn't finish it - this is coming from a guy who will actually eat lemons like an orange. It might work in theory, but I'm not sure if mixing a sour fruit with a sour style works in practice all that well..."
