Treading the path that stretches between what is beer and what is candy, 450 North is perfectly content to walk the path with their smoothie sour ale that's chocked full with blueberry, green apple, strawberry, watermelon and raspberry in true sour straws fashion.
Just like pureed fruit cocktail, Sour Straws pours like a dense and neon glowing mauve while drawing in the senses with a full and fruity perfume. A dunk of red berries with a candied sweet scent of tropical fruit and apple lead into a richer taste of cream candy, taffy, sorbet and sherbet as the initial taste is rife with cereal and fruit-laced sugars.
The smoothie sour ale fully saturates the tastebuds as its middle palate in nearly teeth churning in its intense. juicy, sweet and rich taste. Notions of sour jam and fruit rollup certainly come to mind just as the listed fruits drape in melted sorbet before a tangy and cidery balance steps in late. Finishing with a an unsettled tannic bite and a citrusy bitterness, the late taste is winey, cider-like and met with a bitter astringency of fruit skins and seeds.
Full bodied, playfully cloying and firmly meant as a dessert beer, the malty-sweetness and candied remnants outlast the sourness as a long aftertaste of fruit skins, seeds, piths and pulp linger long on the tongue.
