The active ingredient in Yakult, your favorite nonfat probiotic, is a little bacteria called lactobacillus, which beer fans might recognize as one of the strands of wild yeast used to brew sour beers. Despite the hefty abv, this beer had a surprisingly delicate body reminiscent of a Summer Rosé.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: golden yellow color with a finger and a quarter's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet cream and strawberry sweet and tart character; subtle yeastiness, slight grassy hops underneath
Flavor: mildly sweet and tart with some sour tones rising up; mild finish of the strawberries and creamy notes
Texture: between light and medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to medium; somewhat sessionable; semi-smooth along the tongue
Overall: the creamy tones helped tame the sour and tart character which possibly could have let this beer be a bold sour ale. I liked this one for me and would have again.
