First up, Oozlefinch Das Yummy Key Lie Pie Style 6.5% Hazy gold with a perfect key lime aroma. Medium to light bodied and dry with sweet graham cracker pie crust and tangy lime. Really nice take on the style.

Ridiculously hazy, fully opaque (99 per cent) purple, indigo and deep blue coloured body with a very ugly, honeycombed tan head that shows a ton of very large bubbles and nothing smooth or elegant - this is ugly, funky and super odd for a beer - but refreshingly nice enough for the style. Aroma of super soured, tart and funky berries with blackberries, blueberries, grapes and lemons all here with a bunch of vanilla and lactose of course, but none of the malty/graham cracker or earthy notes here - this is all about the fruit and the sourness (beyond tart). Medium-bodied; Fairly sour and funky flavours show up front with a lot of vanilla and lactose of course, but the blueberries, raspberries and blackberries all show strong with a bunch of dryness coupled with the sugars, but the sour notes dominate here along with some slight citrus components as well and a bit of funk and lactobilly notes. Aftertaste is deep, sweet, soured and very fruity with a nice bit of sugars and vanilla coming through and very refreshing, especially in the colder weather months, given that it seems that it's a liquid dessert, given how rich and sweet it is throughout. Overall, a nice and elegant beer with a ton of fruit notes, a bunch of lactose and sugars and a crisp, but rich finish that brings some complexity to the table. Another excellent beer from Oozelfinch and definitely worth trying to find, especially if you can stash it around for a liquid dessert near the holidays - this would be sublime. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from MOM's Organic Market in Alexandria, Virginia on 19-October-2021 for US$5,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 27-January-2022.

This is the purplest damn beer I’ve ever seen, that’s for sure. Just so unrelentingly sweet; doesn’t taste like a sour, or even a beer. Loads of thick banana, concord grape jelly, peanut butter, and a fuckton of lactose. Grows cloy on the front end; becomes like straight grape soda concentrate by the finish. Veers straight into undrinkable territory. I’m closing in on 4100 beers and this is one of the absolute worst I’ve ever tasted.

Can, 0.473l. Aroma is caramelly, bready, dried fruity and dusty. Pours cloudy golden color with large soapy white head and average sparkling appearance. Tastes starts medium sweet caramelly and toasted malty, following is dried fruity and grassy, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is mild bitter. Medium to full body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Real beer, real pleasure…
