Paramecium Sour Red Ale is brewed with pink guava making a bright flavorful taste that’s prickly on the tongue. Complete with a mild tartness, Paramecium is the perfect brew to pair with seafood or to share with friends over a cheese plate..

Color is a pinkish red cast gold with orange gold highlights at the edges, good white cap and lacing.

Clean, mild aroma of slightly tart fruit, which fruit I don't immediately identify.

Mild tart taste at first, somewhat like cranberry, accompanied by a restrained sourness. In fact the whole makeup is one of mildness though that's not to say flavorless. It is flavorful, sweet/tart berry, mild grain, just not so much as to turn off customers who don't want anything too adventurous. I get it, make something a little different but not too different. It is well balanced and refreshing.

Medium texture with balancing carbonation.

This could be a useful brew. I see myself sitting on a patio overlooking the beach. It has enough sharpness to stand up to fried foods but not so much as to overpower a cheeseburger. I'd buy it again.

I'd like to start of with saying I like the can art. Looks like a worm thing with a mans face and the brain exposed. +1 here for looks. Now when you pour this, it comes out looking nasty like brown juice squeezed from dirty gym socks. Never seen anything like it. Extra points here.

Almost smells like a weak IPA, nothing offensive here.

Now I have had a sour before at my local brewery, but the Paramecium really cranks up the sour. Little overwhelming at first but half way though I'm starting to get into it.

When you see the color, your mind is prepared for a mouthfeel that is heavy but this come out on the light crisp side. Unexpected and intrigued.

This was an off the beaten path pleasure. Id like to have another one. ☺
