Sampled from a can this beer poured a red raspberry color with a small foamy pink-white head that left minimal lacing. The aroma was odd - lactose, cream, phenol and vague berry. The flavor was tart with mixed berry, lime and a lactic note. Medium length finish. Moderately full bodied and silky smooth.

Keg at World of Beer Middleton, 8/18/18. Murky dark red purple. Aroma of funk, lactose, berries. Taste matches. Tastes like yogurt. Extremely meh.

This is a fun summer beer. Hazy red color and pink foam. Lots of raspberry in the aroma and flavor, but the lime and blueberry and less prominent. Light sweet, some yeast but it is not sour. A high-quality fruit beer.

12 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours moderately hazy dark ruby red/purple color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky pink head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy blueberries, raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lime, lemon, pear, red/green apple, melon, red grape, hay, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, biscuit, light lacto/Brett funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/light acidic yeast, berries, lime, lactose, and pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy/tart/tangy blueberries, raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lime, lemon, pear, red/green apple, melon, red grape, hay, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, biscuit, light lacto/Brett funk, and yeast earthiness. Light fruity/lactic tartness, and fruit tang on the finish. Lingering notes of juicy blueberries, raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lime, lemon, pear, red/green apple, melon, red grape, hay, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, biscuit, light lacto/Brett funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/light acidic yeast, berries, lime, lactose, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a with an awesome malt/tartness and tangy fruit balance; and zero cloying/puckering flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering tartness/tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/silky/grainy, and lightly acidic/tangy mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is an excellent fruited milkshake sour! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/light acidic yeast, berries, lime, lactose, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink with the mildly acidic/tangy finish. Very flavorful for the low ABV. Great jammy fruit notes, balanced milkshake-like sweetness; and solid Brett/lacto complexity like the rest of the series so far. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example. Very consistent variations, great summer sours.
