Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce can into tulip glass, best before 8/18/2019. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy deep golden/amber/light orange color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin spotty lace cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big sour/tart/tangy rhubarb, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, strawberry, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of rhubarb, fruity/acidic yeast, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big sour/tart/tangy rhubarb, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, strawberry, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tart/sourness, rhubarb tang, and light spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy rhubarb, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, strawberry, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of rhubarb, fruity/acidic yeast, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with an awesome malt/tart/sourness and tangy rhubarb balance; with zero puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering tart/sourness and tangy rhubarb. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy, and acidic/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is an excellent fruited kettle sour. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of rhubarb, fruity/acidic yeast, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/clean/refreshing to drink with the modestly acidic/tangy/drying finish; not overly lactic. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Awesome balance of jammy rhubarb and Lacto complexity; with a great pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity for the ABV. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp acidic dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive style example.
