Small ball at its finest, a squeeze play is a sacrifice bunt that gives the runner on third a scoring opportunity. This version of Squeeze Play is fruity and refreshing with a hint of sweetness. Bursting with real orange, raspberry, lime, lemon and pineapple, this nostalgic summer sour is balanced with a subtle touch of lactose.

At my lady Pamela's house; canned and chilled, 473mL in a nonic pint glass. From my favourite LCBO at Tecumseh Mall in nearby Windsor. My fourth beer from the Toronto, Ontario brewery, and second for 2025...

REally just a two-note beer. Lots of unsubtle sourness and a perfumey nose and flavour. Other, more genuinely fruity, versions od Squeeze Play come across as more enjoyable. Too artificial to my taste. Being stupidly sour is just not good enough.

355 mL can from the LCBO; dated May 12 2021 and served slightly chilled.
Pours a clear pinkish-orange colour, producing half a finger of soapy white foam that dissipates within ninety seconds or so; a sickly thin collar is left behind, but that's literally it. The aroma is fruity and pleasant, offering up big notes of raspberry flesh, as well as a citrusy lemon/lime/orange note and hints of tropical and/or stone fruit; shades of wheaty grain husk and lacto character. Smells a bit like raspberry lemonade.
A fine little sour - the raspberry is what stands our for me, though I'm also getting a fair bit of mandarin orange, lemon juice and lime-ade sweetness. Suggestions of stone fruit, cranberry and pineapple are considerably less pronounced, with hints of raspberry juice and lemon yogurt rounding out a tart finish that precedes a briefly citrusy aftertaste. Light in body, with a firm, crisp bite from the carbonation, giving this brew a prickly, refreshing mouthfeel. I finished my can quickly enough, and I kinda wished I had another afterwards.
Final Grade: 3.96, a B+. Squeeze Play Rainbow Sherbet is an interesting idea in theory, but in practice this just comes off as a raspberry kettle sour with some added citrus flavour. It's a rather good one, mind you, but I wouldn't say it's a drastic improvement over some of the other raspberry sours you can find in Ontario these days. Try it if you spot it, particularly if you've enjoyed any of Left Field's other Squeeze Play variants.

355 ml can served cold into a pint glass. LCBO purchase for north of $3 CDN. Canned May 12, 2021.
Appearance - semi-opaque salmon colored beer. No head to speak of and the trace that's there fizzles off in an instant.
Smell - Some wheat, some stone fruit and that pervasive aroma that indicates a beer will be sour. Berries likely include raspberry and cranberry and possibly peach is mixed in as well.
Taste - Initially a huge rush of tartness, then backs off to allow for some fruity flavors (namely raspberry and cranberry shine through, but there's elements of peach and grape lurking in the background as well. Interesting medley of sour flavors and not one pushes the others out of the way. Lime seems to be there messing around in the background too.
Mouthfeel - Medium light bodied, a bit creamy and chalky in the finish. Carbonation is light but prickly when in combination with the tartness.
Overall - Better than the initial impression, this is a solid thirst quenching sour ale that doesn't go overboard and offers a nice array of flavors as well as a certain creaminess not found in most sours. Worth a tipple or two especially if available on tap now that Patio season's here
