16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned in 6/2019. Pours very hazy deep golden amber color with a 1 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/tart/tangy pineapple, passion fruit, mango, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, marshmallow, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread dough, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of pineapple, passion fruit, mango, vanilla, marshmallow, lactose, and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge juicy/tart/tangy pineapple, passion fruit, mango, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, marshmallow, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread dough, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Very mild fruity/lactic tartness, and fruit tang on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy pineapple, passion fruit, mango, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, marshmallow, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread dough, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of pineapple, passion fruit, mango, vanilla, marshmallow, lactose, and bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with no 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/velvety/bready, and lightly acidic/tangy/tannic mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 7.1%. Overall this is a fantastic fruited milkshake sour! All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of pineapple, passion fruit, mango, vanilla, marshmallow, lactose, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink with the mildly acidic/tangy/drying finish; amazingly soft feel, and mellowly lactic. Amazing balance of juicy/jammy fruit, vanilla, marshmallow, and Lacto complexity; with a perfectly balanced lactose, and wheat/oat/malt backbone against acidity. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on top tier quality style example.
