When vacation is just a memory and the fireworks have faded, it's still gonna be HOT! Cool down with a bright burst of raspberry lemon sunshine! Sun Burst sour ale has the perfect balance of sweet and tart with a light malt base that's 100% summer!

Hazy pink pour. The aroma is mostly tart raspberries. Flavor is nicely tart with raspberries up front with lemons and some malty sweetness. Easy drinking. Refreshing.

Deep beautiful rose coloured body with a bright pink glow and a lot of orange and coppered tints towards the bottom, all with a very nice two to three centimetre all off-white and just-barely pink tinted head - very nice, especially for the style. Aroma of hibiscus, raspberry and pure lemon notes with a tiny bit of malts and a dash of flowers towards the end, but relatively soft and lightly sweet from fruit-based sugars and even a touch of caster sugar. Light-bodied; Very tart and flavourful dry cranberry and raspberry flavours show through with a lot of unfinished sugars as well from fructose and pure icing sugar along with a dry wheatie and yeast note along with a touch of flower and hay on the dry side of things. Aftertaste is dry and very tart with some hibiscus and raspberry notes hitting the hardest along with a dash of grass and flowers as well. Overall, a pretty soft and fruity beer with a great tart side of things, but not overly done and showing a slightly puckered palate and mouth-watering qualties, but on a refreshing scale. Very nice to try, especially on one of the hottest and easily the most humid day of the year so far! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Giant Food in Falls Church, Virginia on 13-January-2020 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 28-May-2020.

12oz can. Poured a hazy, kind of like a melted fruity mixed drink. Aroma was a nice blast of tropical fruits. Flavor was fruit tartness. After my first sip I was surprised by the tartness. Fruity, floral notes.
