Sour wheat ale brewed with salt and conditioned on prickly pear puree. True balance of sweet and sour, flavor notes of watermelon and strawberry. This beer was inspired by Floyd, our collaboration with Proclamation.

Bottle drunk Spring 2018.
Lightly-to-minimally hazy, glassy-like, drab brass-golden. White head atop fizzles fairly rapidly away.
In the nose it's lightly vegetal with no real distinct cactus character and just a hint of light juiciness. Lots of lactic acid, though it's fairly-well integrated. Light, mousey funk with mineral and a touch of metal. Malts show a hint of honey-caramel but mostly cracker and biscuit. No alcohol noted.
In the mouth it suffers pretty strongly from Kent Falls poor bottling (which they've since corrected, it seems). Carbonation is loose and lackluster and the beer, while not tasting distinctly oxidized, still tastes tired and flabby. Metallic and vegetal with lots of lactic acid, cracker, biscuit and lingering salt.

500 ml bottle thanks to Willrunforbeer. Crystal clear golden, no head. Aroma is mild pear, lactic acid, grain. Flavor is lightly tart pear, mild lactic, subtle sour grain, mild salinity. Some mild pucker in the back of the tastebuds. Overall, light but refreshing.
