Lil' Nap
Prairie Artisan Ales

Pours an effervescent & turbid plum/purple color with one finger of beige colored head. Tons of fruit residue on the glass, minimal head retention & lacing

S: Some berries, a little lime

T: Follows the nose, more tart than sweet. Blackberries & lime dominate as this beer warms up, a little dryness too. Finishes with tartness, acidity & plenty of the two star ingredients

MF: Medium body, subtle carbonation, acidic; more like something you'd pour out of a juicer. Sticky on the teeth

Easy to drink, very refreshing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

12 ounce can. Pours a murky reddish purple with a small pinkish head. Aroma of berries and citrus. Taste is blackberry, lime, and a touch of cedar. Decent.

 

 

 

From a 12 oz. can into a prairie Dino glass, this beer pours out a deep berry color and forms a finger of sea foam pink crown. Almost plum in color.

The nose brings a nice salinity mixing with acidity. Jammy berries, mixing with a little lime zest.

The taste offers some jammy berry notes as well, mixing with a fresh squeeze of lime. Maybe slight funky berries. Dry wood on the backend.

Dry wood shows up in the feel. Nice, natural tartness; not too much but there. Light and refreshing.

Overall, I’m not always a huge fan of Prairie sours but this one is pretty good. I think the cedar adds more than you can tell.

Appearance - Pours dark red with a thin pink head that settles quickly to a thin ring. No lacing.

Aroma - Lots of blackberries and lactose, light tart/sweet nose. I do not really get much lime more like a blackberry vanilla that is mostly sweet.

Taste - The blackberry flavor is strong just like the nose which is nice sometimes the flavor is much weaker. I still do not get much lime, tons of blackberry, vanilla and a hint of salt. Very tasty.

Feel - Light bodied but the finish is a little syrupy, good carbonation.

Overall - Really like this one, sort of a light blackberry pie sour. It is not super sour and has great flavors.

Pours reddish-purple with a tantalizing fruity/berry aroma. Flavor begins as a sour slap in the face, followed by a lime/citrus tartness and a berry finish. This reminded us of "E is for Elderberry" from Evil twin, but lacking the earty seedy aftertaste. This was a great fruity sour, typical from Prairie.
