Can sample at a tasting at Max's place. Thanks Max. Hazy golden. Lactic, fruity, hibiscus, tart and juicy, citric. Very good and refreshing.

This sour poured a cloudy, dark pink colour with a pinkish white fizzy head. Minimal lacing. Scents include sour rhubarb, a little floral hops and citrus. First swig was gladly not the punch in the face that was expected. Sweet Tart flavour with a little floral note. Finish is mildly sour.

Very basic sour, heavy on the citric acid tartness, light on whatever adjunct is meant to set it aside from the billion other sours on the shelves. Maybe a touch of light hibiscus/tea notes? Maybe? But it's really all about the lacto sourness, which is what you get. Eh. Passable.

Can that pours a hazy, peach-pink colour with a frothy-creamy white-pinkish head, good stay and lots of lacing. Beautiful hibiscus aromas with berry notes. The sourness comes out in the taste. Nicely balanced with flowers (hibiscus and rosehip). Some mild tart stays on the tongue. Well done.

Can from the LCBO. Hazy rhubarb colour with a small light ping head that doesn't last. Nose is light grain, hibiscus, red berries. Light fruit sweetness with a medium- tartness. Mouth is thin with soft carbonation. 7-/3/6+/3-/13
