This slightly sour Wild Little Thing has just the right smack of tartness for serious refreshment, while guava, hibiscus and strawberry lend fruity-sweet depth and a bright pop of color.

7/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Bright pink coloured body with a lighter ruby tint and some subltle violet notes along with a relatively large, slightly sospy, five to six centimetre tall off-white head that does fade very quickly. Aroma of pure strawberry jam, light plums, some very subtle wheat and malts with a dry candy (think jolly rancher) scent that is more sweet and fruity than anything form a typical beer. Light to Medium-bodied;  Strong strawberry, raspberry, tart fruit and blackberry flavours dominate with some light funky yeast and slightly soured note, but obviously just a kettle soured product as the complexity is very muted and the fruits come through, but not much else in terms of robust flavours or deep, unasssuming profiles. Aftertaste shows the very funky yeast and especially the tart berry and fruit components, but leaves a nice soured finish that shows the sour side of things as well as the fruit complexities, including the inherent malts and light alcohol which do peek out. Overall, a better beer than I was expecting, due to the really low reviews, but threre is nothing classic at all about this one - the tart fruit is nice, but some real compleixty would really  be nice to have. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington, Virginia on 02-September-2020 for US$1,87 sampled at my house here in washington on 17-September-2020.

Wtf, is this a joke? Tastes like post-gargled fruit punch. Drain pour.
