Pours a cloudy maize color. 2/3 inch head of an off-white color. Good retention and slight lacing. Smells of bacterial funk, piney hops, slight resin, citrus, floral, slight alcohol, and pale malt. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with a high carbonation level. Fits the style of an American Wild Ale. Tastes of bacterial funk, piney hops, slight resin, citrus, floral, slight alcohol, hint of sweet malt, and pale malt. Overall, decent appearance and feel, but good aroma, body, and blend.

12oz bottle. Poured out a clear, straw-yellow color with a small, white head of foam. It smelled of lemon, caramel and some orange. Sweet citrusy taste with a tart bite of lemon.

Emoticon DHS Double Dry Hopped Sour pours a honey amber color with 70% transparency. The head is creamy and Guinness-like, and leaves polite lace behind. The head stays quite awhile and doesn't recede quickly.
Aromas of dry hop, cantaloupe and melon, pale malts, and some honey.
The label says that this is a clash between a Blonde Ale, a Red Ale, and a Sour. I'd say it's dead on in the flavor department and leans a bit more towards the Blonde side. It's got a nice milky sourness, but also some distinct dry hoppiness and a touch of toasted caramel malts. Quite a feat, quite odd, but executed superbly. Extra points for being original.
The feel sticks to the palate like a kind, rubbery cactus and gently scrapes the tongue as it glides all the way down. A nice dry finish wraps things up.
Overall, I wasn't expecting much - actually I was expecting a sour - and at first I was disappointed, but on closer examination I realize this beer does exactly what it sets out to do, and that's blending three styles into a quenchable, thirst-destroying summer slammer. I'd gladly have this again.
