Draft at Ascension 4th anniversary party. Pours a thick and viscous ruby, pomegranate red with a finger of pinkish white foam that lingers. Lots of raspberry on the nose with guava as it warms and a touch of marshmallow. Creamy raspberry guava on the palate. Super creamy for the abv. Actually the mouthfeel is insanely thick for the abv. Homerun from Ascension.

16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours opaquely hazy/murky ruby red/orange, light pink/purple color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky light pink head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of huge juicy/tart/tangy red raspberry, pineapple, pink guava, fruit skin/seed, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, red grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, white bread dough, light pepper/lacto funk and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of pineapple, raspberry, pink guava, fruity/acidic yeast, and pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge juicy/tart/tangy red raspberry, pineapple, pink guava, fruit skin/seed, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, red grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, white bread dough, light pepper/lacto funk and yeast earthiness. Light fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy red raspberry, pineapple, pink guava, fruit skin/seed, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, red grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, white bread dough, light pepper/lacto funk and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of pineapple, raspberry, pink guava, fruity/acidic yeast, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a fantastic malt/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with zero cloying/puckering flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering tartness and tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready/grainy, and lightly acidic/tangy/tannic mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.4%. Overall this is a fantastic fruited milkshake sour! All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of pineapple, raspberry, pink guava, fruity/acidic yeast, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink with the mildly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish; amazingly soft feel. Amazing balance of super juicy/jammy fruit and Lacto complexity; with a nice sized wheat/malt backing. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing style example as expected. Middle of the road on sweetness/lacto notes vs other variants.
