16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but was just released. Pours lightly hazy ruby red/orange color with a 1 finger dense and fluffy light pink 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 raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, red grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, vanilla, cream, cracker, white bread dough, light pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of raspberries, fruity/acidic yeast, lactose, and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy/tart/tangy raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, red grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, vanilla, cream, cracker, white bread dough, light pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of juicy/tart/tangy raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, red grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, vanilla, cream, cracker, white bread dough, light pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of raspberries, fruity/acidic yeast, lactose, and moderate bready malt flavors; with an awesome 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 light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/silky/grainy, and fairly acidic/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.4%. Overall this is an awesome fruited milkshake kettle sour. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of raspberries, fruity/acidic yeast, lactose, and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and pretty refreshing to drink with the mellowly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish. Not overly lactic. Very flavorful for the ABV. Awesome balanced juicy/jammy berries and Lacto complexity; with a nice lactose and oat/malt backbone against acidity. Mild residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected.
