Named after atom bomb test grounds, designed by a French car engineer - the bikini was to many a disturbing and degrading creation and fortunately for others a symbol of emancipation. This is attractively light bodied, seductively well balanced and very drinkable Sour Bikini is anything but a sissy beer.

Pours a slightly hazy yellow from a bottle. Aroma is lemon curd and wet cardboard, but in a good way. Flavor is again lemon curd, nice level of sourness. Very good beer.

22 oz. bottle shared by friends. Hazy yellow, fizzy head. Aroma is lemon, sulfur, old citrus peel.
Gosh, this is crazy, stupid tart. Flavor is lactic acid and lemon zest with a dry finish. Harsh lasting lactic tartness after the sip. Mineral water elements. Light body and a fizzy carbonation level. You have to want something overly lactic to even contemplate drinking this.

Can into a shaker showing cloudy yellow and sparse white foam. The nose shows a good lively mix of malts and lemon. The palate is light bodied and moderately carbonated. Moderately intense flavors of grapefruit and pineapple with no bitterness or citric edge. I expected one but it works for the beer.

This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a transparent golden to bronzed yellow color with a thin concave white foamy head that dissipated pretty quickly. Lacing was spotty and thin.
The smell seemed reminiscent to a gose with some peanut butter over top. Weird, interesting, unsure if the \"peanut butter\" was intentional.
The taste was sour with a sly citrus sweetness running underneath. Peanut buttery flavor was more subdued in the flavor, but still slightly there. Light saltiness like a gose is there. Subtle crisp semi-sweet/sour aftertaste slides into a wet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation felt right for a sour allowing enough harshness to slightly prickle my tongue.
Overall, its a decent sour ale, not sure where the peanut butter is coming from but due to the fact that it’s a 3%-er and no known bottling date, makes me wonder how old this is. Only come back to if I can find fresher.
