650ml bottle - I'm guessing that this is just their previous kettle sour, with some sexy new El Dorado hops added in after the fact.
This beer pours a hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and fizzy dirty white head, which leaves a few instances of jutting iceberg profile lace around the glass as it rather quickly sinks away.
It smells of herbal vegetal notes right off of the top, a bit of sanguine tropical fruitiness, faint lacto astringencies, bland grainy and bready pale malt, and a hint of domestic citrus rind. The taste is bready and grainy pale malt, some faint milky sourness, muddled citrus and pome fruity esters, and more understated leafy, musty, and herbal verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite timid in its bored as shit seeming frothiness, the body an adequate medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of yer typical good time here, as such. It finishes off-dry, the fruity and herbal notes predominating.
Overall, this is certainly a newbie-oriented take on the entire 'dry-hopped' and 'sour' way of things - I expected nothing more. At any rate, the inherent goodness of the El Dorado hop is not totally lost, but merely mixed into the banal, and not exactly tart whole. Not a bad attempt, but sort of lacking, as already stated.
