McDermottDrink Profile

Carryout can from Stone Path Malt. Second cranberry sour this week. Cloudy pink pour, frothy parfait head. Smell is again of light cranberries, slightly sweeter than expected, and a lactic touch of cream. Taste has more cranberry tartness, slowly turns into a puckery kind of sour. No milky creaminess, just a big Ocean Spray impression.

16 oz can. Don't know how familiar I am with this style, but let's dive in. Pours deep amber with no haze, but bubbles clinging to the glass. Toasty malt nose, with a slight side of English hop. Though the malts are light, they are up front on the taste, we'll say crouton toast. Just a little hop bitterness at first, that liners on my tongue, before resolving into a earthy, almost smoky Fuggles or Ringwood. Fizzy carbonation doesn't try to go for a pub or type. Finishes nice and easy after a day off beer sampling.
