This Smoothie Sour starts as a 10% ABV kettle sour Berliner Weisse and after maturation we add to it 50% of strawberry. We don't let the strawberry ferment so the aromatics stay true to those of the original fruit and as a result of the fruit dilution the final ABV is 5%! No lactose, no marshmallow, no vanilla, no nothing! Just lactic acid versus fructose! That’s the simple balance we like! We just hope you love it the way we do!

440ml can. Pours a bit of a dirty reddy pink colour, something of a head bubbling up from it. Aroma of strawberry yogurt. Taste of sweet strawberry yogurt, light sourness, a bit more than their other beers it seems but still wants more I think. Thick full body, real smoothie like. A tasty non-beer.

Can shared at work. Looks like a smoothie for real, aroma is weird, egg-like notes apart from the gallore of strawberry. Taste is also loads and lods of strawberry, jammy, fruity, nicely balanced sweet and sour. Thick, with low carbonation.

440ml can. PBF XIV. Red, hazy looks. This is just strawberry cream, smoothie, nothing to do with beer really.

--Canned at PBF XIV. -- Murky pinkish orange, small pink head. Aroma of pure strawberry jam. Extremely sweet with medium body and sticky, visvous mouthfeel. Like drinking concentrated strawberry jam, perhaps with some yoghurt added. So cloying it is ridiculous.

Canned 440ml. -at Gobet Zagreb, Ophiussa TTO. Murky tomato juice coloured, small off-white head, strawberry and some odd fishy nose. Tartish strawberry taste with light fruity finish. Thick of course. Nope.
