650ml bottle, part of their Trailblazer Series. The sour apparently comes from some lactobacillus in the kettle. Fingers crossed.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with three chubby fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves some decent eroding limestone lace around the glass as it slowly seeps out of sight.
It smells of gritty and grainy pale malt, faint exotic fruity notes, evaporated milk, a musty yeastiness, and some plain earthy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy cereal malt, mild lacto, a still hard to discern tropical fruitiness, more musty yeast, and some ephemeral earthy, weedy, and herbal hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite tame in its ineffectual frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and smooth, I suppose, as nothing really gets in the way of a cookie cutter good time here. It finishes off-dry, the malt and bland milkiness bravely limping out the back door.
Overall - yeah, this one certainly does not bring the goods, as none of the titular promises really materializes in any great form. So boring, that I'm actually looking for distractions to justify my putting off ending this missive. What's that? Ok, coming!
