Death by Fruit Fetish
Levante Brewing Company

From Levante's website: Laced with creamy lactose sugar, this triple-fruited tart ale is gently soured with Philly Sour Yeast; call it a tease. Fermentation gradually builds up the bubbles to a fine spritz; our Fruit Fetish series spawned from an affinity to Italian soda in the first place. Finally, an overflowing fruit basket of raspberry, blackberry, boysenberry, blueberry, sweet and tart cherry ties down your tongue while black currant is your safeword. *Contains Lactose*

This beer is quite the sight. Big phat ass strawberry mousse head over a murky purple body. It certainly doesn't look like a conventional beer, but it looks like what it is: a gigantic, over-the-top fruited sour. Head takes its sweet ass time settling in, eventually leaving some sticky lacing. Smells like sour berries. Duh. There was so much tossed into this one that nothing really stands out; at least not to me. It's just kind of a muted smorgasbord. It doesn't smell bad, but it lacks the vibrancy on the nose that really good sours present. It's all corrected on the tongue, though. Sweet jesus. Wicked tasty berry overload. Proper SOUR too. Like straight citric acid on your tongue sour. Quite sweet, but it's so tasty that I don't really give a shit. Silky smooth mouthfeel has me drinking it far quicker than I probably should. This is 10% ABV, after all. Not as heavy on the tongue as I feared it might be. Nobody wants a syrupy sour in August. Great, great beer - a rare one that actually justifies it's obscene price point.
