12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 8/28/2019. Pours very hazy/cloudy deep golden/orange/amber color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy of white head with solid retention, that reduces to a minimal spotty lace cap that lingers. Minimal spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/sour/tart/tangy nectarines, apricot, peach, fruit skin/pits, lemon, lime, orange, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lighter peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of nectarines, fruity/acidic yeast, and pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge juicy/sour/tart/tangy nectarines, apricot, peach, fruit skin/pits, lemon, lime, orange, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lighter peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tart/sourness, fruit tang, and light spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy nectarines, apricot, peach, fruit skin/pits, lemon, lime, orange, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lighter peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of nectarines, fruity/acidic yeast, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a fantastic malt/tart/sourness and tangy fruit balance; with no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering sour/tart/tangy and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy, and fairly acidic/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 7.9%. Overall this is a fantastic fruited kettle sour. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of nectarines, fruity/acidic yeast, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, refreshing, and fairly crisp/clean to drink with the mellowly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish. Nicely soft and not overly lactic. Fantastic balance of super juicy/jammy fruit and Lacto complexity; with a great pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity. Mild residual sweetness with crisp acidic/tangy dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding style example as expected. Love the whole Midwest fruit tart series.

Can from explosivedog: pours pinkish orange with a small head. Aroma is loads of guava... not sure if I can get much banana. Taste is lightly sour, with loads of guava. Sole beer backbone but this is a real fruit bomb.

Sampled from the tap at Beer Grotto A2. Pours a clear purple with a near white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma is full of rich berries with a nice tartness and a light funk. Flavor is full of dark berries with a light yogurt and a hint of funk.

12 oz. Aroma has notes of banana, a mango-esque note that I guess is mangosteen, Brett, kiwi, guava, wet stone. Pours murky yellowish-orange with an immediately collapsing off white head. Looks a bit like a banana orange smoothie. Taste is moderately sour (3/5) with tropical fruit flavors, alcohol noticeable but it’s not boozy. Tasty beer that looks like crap.

12 oz can from Tavour, 11/9/19. Purple-reddish, beige head. Sweet, fruity aroma. Blackberry more prominent then the vanilla for me. Somehow it is reminiscent of a Dr. Brown's Black Cherry. Wasn't expecting that from a beer. A little too sweet, but pretty tasty. Unique. 8/4/7/4/15
