Reviewed from notes. On-tap at Blue Palms for Drakes/Triple Rock Tap Takeover.
Pours a hazy amberish orange with big bubbles along the edge of the glass. Initial smell is solvent-like nail polish remover acetone plus some band-aid on top. Some oak and wood on the taste. Smooth mouthfeel, but not really sour, and dry finish. Not a fan.

A: The pour is amber in color with a small off white head sitting on top.
S: Ah, the typical aroma of a Drake's sour: nail polish remover and white vinegar. Such mastery at work...At least there is a little bit to it other than that. I get some peaches and a mild maltiness.
T: A mild malt sweetness on the flavor before the overpowering acetone, nail polish remover, and white vinegar smack you around. Hints of dark fruits, but the harsh flavors mentioned previously dominate.
M: Medium in body and carbonation.
O: I don't know why I keep subjecting myself to this.
