Bandersnatch is double dry-hopped with Citra and Sabro, a hop pairing chosen deliberately for the flavors Sabro delivers that no other variety can replicate — tropical coconut, cedar, and stone fruit layered beneath Citra's signature citrus punch. The beer was developed as a collaboration with Chris from Transient Artisan Ales, a highly regarded Michigan brewery known for its own boundary-pushing hop work, making this a meeting of two inventive Midwestern brewing minds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dank, ripe tropical fruit leads immediately, followed by cedar-like resinous notes contributed by the Sabro hops.

Now operating as a nanobrewery, Saint Errant has built its identity around mixed-fermentation beers, using wild and blended cultures to produce sour and funky ales. Cay Runner falls squarely within that specialty as a fruited Berliner Weisse, a German-rooted wheat beer style defined by its lactic tartness and light body, enhanced here with fruit additions that distinguish it from the brewery's other sour releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Expect bright fruit aromatics layered over a clean lactic tang, consistent with the Berliner Weisse style.
