So, I thought this series was taproom only? Evidently this one got some distro as I found it at the Total Wine up in Shrewsbury. I've had it before at the taproom in Everett and it was alright, but I figured I'd grab another can to give it a go and review it
Pours a hazy orange gold with a finger of white head that quickly fades to a thin ring and leaves no lacing
The nose on here is quite interesting, almost like there's more going on here than just sour fruit and lactose. I'm picking up on aromas of orange creamsicle (duh), cinnamon, lemon peel, tangerine, light coriander, and bready malt
More tart and not quite as complex in taste, but it still retains some of the non-sour weirdness that I enjoy. On the front end of the sip I'm tasting tart orange juice, lemon rind, lime juice, creamy vanilla, and light bready malt. The swallow brings notes of heavy orange creamsicle, tangerine, lemon peel, coriander, and lightly chewy malt
A medium body pairs with moderate tingling carbonation, resulting in a tart yet smooth beer. Finishes off dry with a decent sweetness to offset the tartness
Yeah, this one is quite strange. Not bad but any means and quite drinkable, but it's not something I'd often turn to. I am a bit interested to see if others in the series will get distro
