1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - pretty sure that this isn't plum-flavoured.
This beer pours a hazy, yet bright medium golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat bubbly dirty white head, which leaves a few mere instances of remote islet lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.
It smells of sour dark fruit, a bit of juicy peach flesh, mild expired milky notes, fermenting white wine, and a touch of musty and earthy green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, more yeasty concentrated white grape juice, muddled black orchard fruit, ethereal tart lactose, a hint of flinty chalkiness, and some still plain earthy, weedy, and dead grassy verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly active in its palate-coddling frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and more or less smooth, with a wee airy creaminess seeping in as things warm up a tad. It finishes off-dry, the lactic and inherent fruity essences putting a serious strain on any lingering malty notions.
Overall, you could have called this a frooty sour, and I would have believed you, being the trusty sort that I am (ha!). At any rate, the milky character here is tame, the fruity one sure as hell ain't, and I'm just happy to have another pint of this (not too sour) elixir to contemplate the rest of a typical Sunday afternoon.
