Part two of a collaboration between TC and Bootleg Brewery - PB&J. As recommended by the brewer, tried second and then combined with the PB for a black & tan of sorts. Reviewed here on its own.
Pours a straw colour with a slight orange tinge. Cloudy, with nice foamy white head. Doesn't really stick around but leaves a nice ring of lace.
Smells grapey. Nice and fresh with notes of champagne, cider, pineapple and a slight vinegar acidity at the end. Refreshing.
Taste has more of that grape character. Fruity, with notes of pear and orange this time taking the fore. Touch of cider towards the back and again just a kiss of acidity. Not bad at all.
Decent body, slightly tingly. Yeah holds up well for the style.
Nice fruity freshness; actually wouldn't mind if the acidity were more pronounced.

A strawberry sour, designed as part of the unique collaboration between Thirsty Crow and Bootleg: PB&J. This is the "jelly" part of the sandwich. Reviewed each in isolation before trying the blend. Tried on-tap at GABS2014 in Melbourne.
Pours a very pale, surprisingly clear champagne-pink colour with a fine ring of white around the crest. Body is very light, but that's not unexpected. Some streaky lace forms, as does masses of vibrant carbonation. Looks pretty good.
Nose has artificial turkish delight characters to it, along with Allen's jelly snakes on initial whiff. It turns a little bit more vinous as the acidity comes through a bit more, turning into a slight funk as it warms. It's pretty nice.
Clean, light entry on the palate, before the jelly starts to come through. Definite artificial red lollies, concord grape, turning again slightly vinous and more sour as the acidity rises. Back is clean, crisp and light with a mild bite of carbonic acid. Very dry aftertaste. Feel is light, but clean.
It's a weird combo just by itself before you even put it with the PB. The jelly sweetness and the dryness on the back makes is almost seem like a dichotomy. All up though, it was a nice, and unusual brew. It was a shame the PB didn't really match its standard.
