12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 9/6/2018. Pours moderately hazy reddish/pinkish orange color with a small fairly dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/fairly tart/tangy raspberries, peach, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, pear, red/green apple, melon, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, and biscuit dough; with light notes of pepper, lacto/brett funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/acidic yeast. fruit, lactose, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy/fairly tart/tangy raspberries, peach, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, pear, red/green apple, melon, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, and biscuit dough; with light notes of pepper, lacto/brett funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and light spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy raspberries, peach, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, pear, red/green apple, melon, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light pepper/funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast. fruit, lactose, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with no cloying/puckering flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering tartness and tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/silky/grainy, and fairly acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is an excellent milkshake sour. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast. fruit, lactose, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink with the mellowly acidic/tangy/drying finish, not overly lactic. Very flavorful for the low ABV. Nicely jammy fruit, balanced milkshake-like sweetness; and solid Brett/lacto complexity like the rest of the series. A bit more acidic/drying that than some others. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected. All have been consistently impressive.

 

 

Drinks exactly as expected great raspberry flavor with some peach tartness but not enough to really convince me that it's a wild ale kind of like a good fruit creme ale. No complaints though this series is amazing!
