A series of Imperial Sour Ales highlighting different fruits in every batch. Oats and lactose are added for body and mouthfeel, and a massive dose of fruit provides huge aroma and flavor. Tart enough to make you pucker, then draw you back in for another sip.

Love rhubarb being in beers, such an underrated food! Cloudy faded orange, off-white collar. Strawberry and rhubarb jam nose, vanilla arises out quite a bit, verging on artificial. Strawberry and rhubarb jam with good tartness but by the finish it becomes the nerds candy version with big sugary and cut into tart flavors. Feel isn't sugary though, so no cloying save this one, still a whole glass with the tartness and sweetness does add up. Summertime desert sour

Fizzle Drizzle is a sweet strawberry and tangy rhubarb sour. This one is not a smoothie which is refreshing nowadays. There is a softness/creaminess from the vanilla and lactose. One of my favorite sours of recent and another showcase of Maplewood's exceptional brewing talent.

Tasted in a snifter from draft at Beer Bazaar on January 29, 2020. High gravity sour with a ton of strawberry puree, rhubarb and vanilla beans added. Tasty.

Canned 1/9/20; drank 1/19/20 @ the Yarchives.
Cloudy pink appearance.
A violent pour yielded a huge eggshell head; a thick curtain of tree-rung lace.
"Oops! All Berries", honeyed wheat & faint tart strawberry notes in the nose.
Medium thick mouthfeel.
"Oops! All Berries" and honeyed wheat flavors up front; tart strawberry & faint dry rhubarb notes on the finish. No booze heat.
More sweet than anything, bold and worth a quaff. Probably best split with a friend.
