Tarty To The Party - Plum
Wild Ride Brewing Co.

i have liked this series so far, and this sugar plum edition is tasty. its also one of those kettle sour beers that just looks kind of lazy and lame, only lightly pink from the fruit, with a lot of haze, almost no head at all from the tap, and frankly very little of visual appeal. it smells and tastes nice though, with some obvious skin of the plum tang and fleshy sweetness, its ripe and natural too, and i think the fruit profile, overall, is quite nice here. i love it not being so intense that this is not recognizable as a sour wheat based brew, and i like that its also not too sour to drink easy as well. its still refreshing, with some fresh lemon notes and the obvious plum, which i know to be a fairly difficult fruit to get to come through in a beer like this, especially one on the drier side. it could definitely stand a little more carbonation, but thats the way it often goes with a brewery trying something new, everything is just a little conservative. i think the base beer has gotten objectively better from batch to batch, and this fruit version is pleasant and easy to drink. looking forward to seeing where the series goes from here!
