16 oz. can. A sour double IPA with lactose sugar. What the hell is wrong with craft beer in 2018?.?.? Aroma has a slight acidic berry with mild lactic acid. Flavor does show the “ sweet and sour “ character. The mouth feel is creamy, thick and “oat” like. Sorry, I never would have bought this if I had known what it was. Not my “made up” style at all.

Draft taster pour at NH Brewfest. Appearance is cloudy, light pink with no discernible sparkle, thin ring of off-white head, trace lacing. Aroma is lightly charred fruit. Taste is a strong, flavorful tart sort of overripe fruit balanced by sweet fruit. It's kind of the sweet-tart balance like grapefruit or cranberry. Palate is medium bodied with thin texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, fairly unique and hard to pin down. Sort of like jellied cranberry sauce (which I love). Very nice.
