Batch #022
Nowhere In Particular Promiscuous Ale Project

12 fl. oz. can
Served in a sour glass

This beer pours amber with burnt orange highlights and a slight haze. It is topped with a couple inches of off white head that leaves no lacing.

It smells tart and like strawberries and cream.

It tastes like strawberries and cream. It tastes like a dessert, but before it can get too sweet the tartness comes in to cut through the sweetness.

Medium mouthfeel

Strawberry beers are often disappointing. This one is not. I love the smell and flavor. It has a nice amount of tartness to make this a very enjoyable sour beer.

 

 

 

 

12 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours slightly hazy golden amber/light orange color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy strawberries, fruit skin, lemon, lime, green apple, peach, pear, melon, hay, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, bread, light pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of strawberries, fruity/acidic yeast, vanilla, lactose, and pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy/tart/tangy strawberries, fruit skin, lemon, lime, green apple, peach, pear, melon, hay, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, bread, light pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and light spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy strawberries, fruit skin, lemon, lime, green apple, peach, pear, melon, hay, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, bread, light pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of strawberries, fruity/acidic yeast, vanilla, lactose, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with an awesome malt/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with zero puckering flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from tartness and tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately creamy/grainy/acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is an outstanding fruited Berliner weisse! All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of strawberries, fruity/acidic yeast, vanilla, lactose, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the modestly acidic/tangy/drying finish, not overly lactic. Awesomely jammy berries and balanced Lacto complexity; nice malt/lactose backing against acidity. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
