Another Christmas 2023 beer from Leftpaw. Upland, its been awhile. IDGAF, I like the Kiwi Lambic.
So what is this, an Imperial Flanders? Didn't they do that with Gilgamesh or whatnot? Sure man, let's imperialize a sour, I love that so often (sarcasm). Oh, they're calling it a brown ale here? Parent company says flanders oud bruin. Party time.
Brown pour leaves beige ring of head, 1/5". Decent clarity on a dark beer. The aroma is, well, different. Paw paw and banana fruit . . . in a sour brown ale/flanders oud bruin. Drop some wood and brown malt, acetic aroma, just like some of that ballsonmick vinegar thing you guys are always talking about. This guy is a regular Staubach, you button hooked me.
The taste is I don't say this often: it's weird. Bananas, old beer meets new beer, vinegar, a burning sensation the whole time like its some exotic STD. Its hard for me to believe this beer was intentionally made this way, seems like an accident they tried to salvage as a sour beer.

Appearance -The beer poured a reddish copper color with off white head.
Smell - The beer has all of the markings of a sour in the nose without a distinct fruit presence.
Taste - The pawpaw is present, but the banana dominates. Banana forward beers are uncommon, banana sours are even more unique. This beer works. In the big pictures, it had a nice woodiness that comes through in the end. It reminded me of a flanders.
Mouthfeel - The feel was a little more clingy than the average sour, with a spirited mouthfeel.
Overall - The banana foward sour was unusual, but I liked it.
