Sample at Daily Growler Powell during the All the H's: Hoofy, Hoppy, Hazy, Happy + Sweet T's Food Truck event on 01/18/2019. Cloudy bronze color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Strings of lace. Aroma of pineapple, yeast and malt. Medium body with flavors of tart pineapple, mildly funky yeast, malt and guava. The finish is slightly funky pineapple and yeast. Decent overall.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 10/15/2018. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/lightly tart/tangy pineapples, pink guava, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, melon, apricot, red/green apple, white grape wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, and biscuit dough; with light notes of honey, toast, pepper, lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/acidic yeast, fruit puree, and pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy/lightly tart/tangy pineapples, pink guava, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, melon, apricot, red/green apple, white grape wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, and biscuit dough; with light notes of honey, toast, pepper, lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of juicy/tart/tangy pineapples, pink guava, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, melon, apricot, red/green apple, white grape wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey/pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, fruit puree, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/tartness, and tangy fruit balance; with no cloying/puckering flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering tartness and tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, fairly acidic/tangy, and lightly tannic mouthfeel that is great. Mildly increasing warmth of 9%. Overall this is an awesome imperial fruited kettle sour. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, fruit puree, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV with the mellowly acidic/tangy/drying finish. Awesome balanced juicy/jammy fruits and Lacto complexity; with a nice sized pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity. Not overly sweet from lingering dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive style example.

Pours dark amber with a thin white head. Heavy aroma of guava. Tastes like tropical fruits as well as pine and guava. Palate is extremely complex: pine and earthy notes are apparent on the nose. Sour influence is muted, only noticeable in the fade from the soft mouthfeel. Well crafted, not necessarily drinkable.
