Stepping out of my comfort zone here but what the hell. I have enjoyed most of the beer I've tried from these guys to date.
Slightly pale orange. Very hazy. Good head retention if that is a deal breaker

473ml can - a collaboration with Bench Creek Brewing. No other info on the label, as to what constitutes the 'sour' in this IPA.
This beer pours a hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with three chubby fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and mildly bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent flock of seagulls pattern lace around the glass as it slowly seeps away.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, a sour milkiness, some orange, white grapefruit, and lemon citrus peel, a stoney flintiness, and some leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is tart domestic citrus peel, soured lactose, bready and grainy pale malt, some damp minerality, and more leafy, herbal, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-propping frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and sort of smooth, as all that tart 'n sour character makes it kind of hard to hope for the ideal here. It finishes off-dry, the acrid frooty notes still lording it over any lingering maltiness.
Overall - this is a lot better than I was expecting, but still not something that I would go out of my way to procure anew. It's definitely hoppy, but there's just something unbalanced with the whole sour/tart interplay. I suppose not all styles benefit from a dose of the wild stuff.
