The closest I've come to loving a soda-adjacent sour (this was the "Frutopian" Noyaux, suggesting an awareness of this). The tangerine pumps up the Runts quotient.

Bottle: Poured a reddish color ale with a small bubbly head with no retention and no lacing. Aroma of vinegary notes with some raspberry and acidic notes is quite intense. Taste is a mix of vinegary notes with strong acidic content, some raspberry and light berry notes are also noticeable. Body is about average with good carbonation. There is some sign of a great beer but it is buried under a ton acidity and come close to resembling to vinegar.

Shiny clear amber with a creamy off-white collar.

Smell is acidic, seedy raspberry, rose and rosé.

Taste is also raspberry dominant, sour and sharp, with oak, but the apricot is not very present.

Thin, slick yet crisp and roundly dry.
