I have zero interest in any of their other stuff with the marshmallows but when I was first starting into the craft world and more into this kind of stuff I did really like this one.

16 fl oz pull-tab can served cold into a tulip:
AROMA: Lemon. Milk sugar. Tangy fruit.
Evokes a sort of slightly sour lemon bar vibe. I'm digging it...this'll be an interesting beer.
TASTE: Lemon tartness and acidity is tempered by smooth milk sugar sweetness in this surprisingly well balanced albeit still chaotic brew. Tastes like a lemon bar but has a sour acidic mouthfeel that doesn't quite harmonize with the beer's flavour profile.
Zero almond or marshmallow flavour is present. I do get very faint passionfruit probably only because I know to look for it. Not hoppy, not malty. The adjuncts/additives are the stars of the show, and I guess that makes this beer gimmicky but I like it nonetheless.
Wheat? Sure I guess. But I wouldn't find anything beyond 2-row/pale malt given all the milk sugar sweetness drowning out any malty flavours.
TEXTURE: Smooth, wet, medium-bodied, not unrefreshing, well carbonated, approachable. Not gushed, hot, boozy, astringent, harsh, rough, or scratchy.
OVERALL: I don't think they executed the premise of this beer well, it's a miss of a mess with a lot of its flavours not harmonizing with one another (and its texture not matching the flavour profile), none of the almond or marshmallow really comes through, and for a sour wheat ale it's neither very sour nor very wheat-redolent.
But in spite of being rough around the edges, overall it's a nice brew with a likable flavour that I'm enjoying my can of. I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it again and it isn't on par with Weldwerks' best sour ales, but it's a fun wacky beer that's trying to do something uncommon and I like it on its own merits despite its many flaws.
B- (3.43) / WORTHY
