Can from Corti Bros. Pours very dark brown with a large creamy darkish tan head. Aroma of smooth toasted malt with a touch of tart. Could be cherry. Med body or so. Flavor seems sort of tart chocolate cherry. Cocoa powder even. Dry. More tart than bitter. Nice change of pace.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours reddish/hazy with a foamy pink tinged head. Aroma of cranberries in a mildly tart way. Approaching medium body. Flavor is slightly tart cranberry, and there's something that could be a mild ginger note. Oats are distinguishable. Not too sour - more tart. Nice cranberry/ginger. Pretty dry.

I cannot say that I am a big advocate of sour beers but my daughter brought this by for a tasting. And here we go. The 12 oz can is opened and poured, I see a clear, medium yellow body with just a bit of an off-white head. The taste is a crisp light citrus, dry crackers and very little of a sourness, at least to me. Obviously a decent summer, session beer.

12oz can pours a clear, garnet amber. Nose has tomato, vomit, strawberry. Flavor is not good, cranberry, tomato, lemon. Finishes tart. It's not dayum, it's damned.

A 12 oz can can shared by my daughter, thank you child. It shows a pale yellow with a small representation of white bubbles. Interesting scent, field and some sweetness. And now the taste. Grain, some sourness matched with the sweet, floral, spring water. An inoffensive lightness altogether.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours clear dark copper with a slight white head - transient too. Aroma is plum with a light tart note. Arguably some malt that is like German. Med minus body. Flavor is floral plum with some malt that's not familiar. Mildly tart. Quite dry. Not bitter, but tart enough to combat the malt. Quite approachable - whatever it is.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours bright gold with a transient white head. Aroma is mildly sour fruit - citrus is in it. Maybe some green melon. Med body nearly. Flavor is certainly sour, but quite tolerable. The fruit seems even more green melon than I thought, but the citrus is strong. Maybe some apricot. Nice take on a sour.

Apricot and some lime. Not a lot of character. Golden orange pour. Tangy finish. Can thanks to my wife.
