Not much into sours but looks fine, smell is strong as you can expect but not horrible, I actually enjoy the taste of this one more then some other sours I have had before, and feel bubbly but dissipates quite quickly after that.

473 mL can from the LCBO; the date code is smudged and illegible. Served slightly chilled.
Pours a foggy pale lemondrop yellow colour, topped with half an inch of fizzy, foamy white head that evaporates within a minute or so. A thin collar lives on, but the surface is otherwise barren - no lace, either. Muted aroma of gritty wheat graininess, faint lactic acidity and mimosa.
There's some armpit funkiness at the forefront, alongside notes of clementine, lemon, yogurt and gritty wheat malt. Mildly tart on the back end, blunted by clementine juice sweetness; these flavours persist into the aftertaste, along with some light lacto funk and earthiness. Light in body, with zippy carbonation that remains prickly well into the course of the glass; feels crisp and a little frothy in the mouth. Decent drinkability, assuming you enjoy citrusy kettle sours, but one can is enough for me.
Final Grade: 3.45, a B-. Princess Clementine was sadly one of the least impressive fruited sours I've had in a while: don't get me wrong, it's not exactly bad or anything like that... it's just that the clementine doesn't pop in the way you'd hope a beer named "Princess Clementine" might (and probably should). A fresh flat of this sour ale showed up at my local bottle shop quite recently, so I'll be revisiting this review soon, and will update it if necessary - but for now I'm going to peg this as a forgettable citrus sour.
