Teaming up nearby brewers of Against the Grain, Taft's collaboration fruit beer takes a stroll to the prickly side of the dessert for a tart, refreshing and effortless beer with an exotic flavor twist from prickly pears and kabuso fruit.

Sparkling goldenrod in color and shaded in a light haze, Are You Pricklish? releases a short lived and arid froth. As the tantalizing aromas of fruit juices, light grain and citrus taunt the nose, its taste reveals a blend of melon, lychee and a floral sweetness of rose water.

Fruity, floral and bright, the ale washes the middle palate with a tart fruitiness of honeydew, honeysuckle, rose hip, agave and nectar with a tart lemon, apple and lime underpinning. Expecting the flavors to gain dryness and acidity, the late palate leaves the fruity hanging a bit.

Seeming like a light flavored, light bodied bellini, the beer's mild mannered tartness leaves the palate wanting more acidity and dryness to complete the sour ale spectrum in finish. However, its crisp, refreshing and calm demeanor makes it a summer time refresher for sure.
