Not sure if any one beer is the answer to any of life's problems, but when it's a sour ale chocked with limes and vanilla beans, it's certainly worth a try.

Urban Artifact's Ward hits the glass with a hazy lemon-yellow appearance and a part-fizzy, part-froth cap. As the scent of limes strike the nose first, hints of cider, citrus, white wine and a light burlap musk tease the nose. Sweetness of cereal and sourdough is rounded with the smoothness of vanilla for a slightly candied taste. Trending tart, drying and with a light peppery quality, the finish is refreshing and tart.

Seeming like a sherbet lime taste hit with a splash of Sprite soda, this sour ale drinks as much like a cocktail as it does a beer.

Cloudy place yellow in color with a tight white head. Nose is pungent. Taste is rather pleasant. Nice lemon and lime. Some jaw gripping sourness across entire palate

I love key lime, but not sure how I feel about it in a beer... I've been loving a lot of UA stuff recently, so we'll see... Two fingers worth of late developing whipped light khaki colored froth... Comprised of big chunky bubbles that form a rather rocky top... Audibly fizzy... Decent retention... Color is a slightly chill hazed pale copper... Nose is highlighted by lacto sourness, lime and a kiss of vanilla... Took a second to get used to, but quite pleasant once you do... Palate is more tart and less sweet than expected... Salt and sour lime... Just a touch of sweetness... Fizzy and on the lighter side of medium bodied... Solid, interesting and enjoyable... Great label too...
