This one impressed me…very fun mouth feel, smooth, smells good, fought a nice buzz and didn’t get much indigestion or bitterness in the throat. Recommend!

16oz can into an IPA glass
Look: Pours a shocking, opaque reddish pink. A foamy tinged-pink head quickly dissipates into a ring around the glass, leaving some sticky lacing behind.
Smell: Mostly sour raspberry on the nose, overpowering most other scents.
Taste: Big, ripe, raspberry gives you a big sour punch in the mouth, with some slight sweetness. Finishes with a delightful combination of earthy hop bitterness and natural raspberry bitterness, as well as some light crackery malt.
Feel: Medium body, small bubbles and relatively low but persistent carbonation.
Overall: Queen (or rather, Empress) of the Sour IPA, in my opinion. The IPA and the fruited sour aren't fighting to take over from the other, they are making sweet, salty love.

This was crisp and tart, with an interesting blend of bitter hops and tart raspberry. It had a light finish, so it was very easy to drink. Nice, unique summer brew.
