Poured from an undated 12oz can.

On the pour, 1 finger of pinkish white head formed on top of a hazy pink body. Surprisingly, lacing does form.

Aroma showcases tart lactic acid on top of a dry, fruity, and bright aroma. Not the most puckering aroma, but quite refreshing.

Taste is a bit lighter in terms of what youd expect from a fruity sour, and closer to a crafty chelada (lime and salt in beer). The pale malt is quite detectable, and actually works with the very subtle almost not noticeable saltiness.

The feel is very dry, and drinkable. A bit lighter than anticipated from the ABV, but the finish is medium long thanks to the clear malty presence.

Overall, a solid, if not predictable fruited sour ale. Definitely something most people would be able to drink and at least moderately enjoy.
