My pint can says it was packaged on 8/30/24 and also that the ABV is 6.8%, both to pass along. Bought at the closest beer shop, Mr. T's, recently. I will use a snifter to sample this one, the can is opened and tilted. The appearance is, uh, hazy, and lemon yellow in color followed by a substantial, fluffy head of snow white foam. I get a sniff that is pretty decent, yellow fruit, some hops, tropical and grass. The label also informs that the hops combination comes from Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe and HBC 1019 strains, so there is that going forward. I have a taste and get grapefruit, juice to a slight degree, the same for pineapple, grass, nectarines and bit of hoppy bitterness. It is a bit different, I cannot really nail it down. I'm not put off but I am also not euphoric. All right to get a sampling, likely not a beer I would pursue again.

Tall boy can found at Mr. T's locally and ready to be tasted now. I bring out my ABGB snifter for this sampling, an Austin neighbor, sort of, of Jester King's. The body is a medium gold and is finished by a pillowy head of snow white foam. I smell hops aplenty, yellow fruit and some tropical. The glass is lifted for the drink, peaches, pineapple, laid-back hops, a vinous touch, white bread and a small bitterness. This is a pleasant beer, a shot down the middle for a mild, hazy IPA.

Aromas are somewhat oxidized citrus and resin hops with some wet grain and pale malt. Flavors are similar to nose, unbalanced sweet bitter carbonation. Label is better than the beer. I thought it was going to be better.

Rating number 8,000! Wanted this to be a special brew, so I picked the number one rated Sour / Wild - Flavored beer on RateBeer. 500 ml bottle from Tavour. Blend 13 from July 2023. Pours a clear, deep ruby red color. Creamy pink head settles to a small cap. Aroma is raspberries on steroids. Some mild funkiness. Big sour fruit flavor is initially a shock to the taste buds. After the raspberry flavor explosion, flavor becomes more manageable. Some farmhouse funk, tangy malt and sticky fruit. Dryish finish. Wonderfully intense! On to 9,000….
