L-The beer pours a raspberry pink..shocking. There is a quickly dissapating 1 finger white head. No lacing is apparent.
S-A sweet rasberry nose hits you strong and overwhelms any presence of the listed lime addition.
T- On the palate it's a pretty even mix of lactic sourness and tart raspberry. Not in any way sweet unlike the nose. I get a bit of lime in the aftertaste, but it's faint and hard to pick up.
F- Feel is light and the carbonation is prickly. The sourness makes it finish kinda dry. Something you have to sip and not something you are probably gonna want multiples of at a sitting.
O- Hits on most of what it promises. Sour beer fans will like it, but will not be something for sour beer novices.

From a 16 oz can dated 07/22/21. Sampled Nov. 3, 2021.
Way to murky, hazy and opaque for me. The color is orange-amber with an off-white head. Too, too pulpy.
The aroma expresses a lot of raspberry, a lower profile lime, some juice and toasted bread crust.
Medium mouthfeel.
The raspberries take center stage in the flavor as they do in the aroma and I get very little lime. But that might contribute to the very tart and pucker-up finale of this Sour

Canned 7/10/19
Pours a beautiful opaque deep red/pink with a very small pink cap, absolutely gorgeous
Aroma of jammy sweet raspberries with a light lacto funk to make it a bit sour, pretty similar nose to Lindeman’s Framboise! Very full and richin the nose
The taste pretty much follows the nose, a little more funk and sweetness, the lime comes through in the end, almost a bit of salinity like a gose
Drinks light and crisp, some intense carbonation makes this stuff go down super easy, finishes creamy and a bit sweet
Super easy drinking sour, could drink it every day if it were more reasonably priced, but I’ll definitely be coming back to this. Damn, I’m a sucker for a fruited sour

Moderate to vigorous pour yields 1/2 inch very light pink head over a dark pink/maroon body with some lacing. Nose of raspberry and citrus. Taste mirrors nose very closely with a nice feel for the style. Very smooth, balanced, and quite refreshing; not to tart, not too sweet, and limey. This would be a fantastic summer crusher and would highly recommend. Cheers!
