Grapefruit juice from calif? WTF? I no want juice from calif. Give me grapefruit juice from sinzy. From $2 can at vintage. Smells like slightly rotting grapefruit. Cloudy with lots of sediment. Taste is more tart than sweet and I like that. Lots of sour friction here against the palate. Yes, quite stimulating. When I saw it was graperfruti, I wasn't sure but it is mildly tart without any hop bitterness what so ever, thanks. Yes, decent brew and I thought it wasn't going to be as quite as exciting as it was.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 10/9/2019. Pours hazy very dark ruby red/pink/purple color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy light pink head with good retention, that reduces to a thin lace cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/sour/tart/tangy blackberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, orange, peach, plum, pear, raisin, apricot, red/green apple, currant, red grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread dough; lighter notes of vanilla, peppercorn, musty/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of blackberries, fruity/acidic yeast, and pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge juicy/sour/tart/tangy blackberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, orange, peach, plum, pear, raisin, apricot, red/green apple, currant, red grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread dough; lighter notes of vanilla, peppercorn, musty/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tart/sourness, fruit tang, and yeast/tannic spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of sour/tart/tangy blackberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, orange, peach, plum, pear, raisin, apricot, red/green apple, currant, red grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, vanilla, peppercorn, musty/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of blackberries, 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 finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering sour/tart/tangy and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and acidic/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.9%. Overall this is a fantastic fruited kettle sour. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of blackberries, fruity/acidic yeast, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink with the modestly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish. Nicely soft and not overly lactic/tannic. Fantastic balance of super juicy/jammy berries and lacto complexity; with a nice sized wheat/malt backbone against acidity. Mild residual sweetness with crisp acidic/tangy/tannic 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.
