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.

Pink and yellow can from market district. Strawberry blonde color, very attractive. Pink pink head fades to a crag. Looks like strawberry pop. Smell is slightly fruity beer. Yes, some tartness in there but it comes across more like a mix between 3/4 standard fruit beer and just a tad of wild. Different, maybe I should have cooled it a bit more before I sampled it. Not too bad but was expecting something a little more tart and refreshing.

I'm so rarely disappointed by SN, so it pains me to pan this beer. First, you see a name with the word wild in it so you expect some funk. But there's no funk. Then you read the description and see sour. But its barely that. This is strawberry juice first and foremost, cut with a bit of flower notes, couldn't taste the guava that I could tell, and could barely tell it was beer. In fact, this was highly undercarbonated (can) so it really had a juice like mouthfeel. Come on SN, you guys are better than this. This was not a wild/sour fruited beer, it's a can of bullshit and you know it!

Canned February 27th 2020.
Pours a clear red with pinkish foam, good head of foam, good lacing.
The smell I get is like a mix of strawberries and lime. Smells more tart than sweet but the tartness is mild. Hence the name.
It's a good taster. Fruity I do get what tastes like strawberry, the tartness is lime like. The level of tartness...anyone can handle.
High end of light bodied, I am enjoying this brew.

12 oz can, thanks bro. Aroma is strawberry, guava, SweeTarts, Kool-Aid. Pours slightly hazy ruby red with a long-lasting pinkish-white head. Taste is lightly sour (2/10), moderately sweet, finishing dry, with fruity flavors. Thin, watery, foamy mouthfeel. Tastes pretty good, but it's a bit simplistic and one-dimensional. Would be a lot better with way more tartness, like Founders Green Zebra or something along those lines.
