Lavish
Pulpit Rock Brewing Company

 

Received in a trade and shared with JLindros.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice clear honey hue with no real head. Decent legs though, almost mead like.

S - Big aromas of vanilla cream and orange juice. Real zesty orange cake like aroma. Definitely get that wafercookie like smell as well. Like an orange marmalade minus the sweetness. Flashes of a base tartness and orange creamsicle.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with loads of orange cake and tons of vanilla. There is a bunch of zest as well. Not really tart orange but cooked down pulp. The cookie element is more muted, fair amount of sweeter fruit as well but finishes dry. Flashes of alcohol though.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, body is decent but still comes across a bit thin.

O - Overall this was a rather solid sour beer, nice fruit and vanilla without getting in the way of the base beer.

Serving Type: can

No head, interesting coating of the glass and holes instead of legs, slight hazy golden honey colour

Nose explodes, big vanilla and orange, big vanilla cream lacing and orange cake, creamy lactose, tangerine zest, very light tart sour beer, touch of apricot too I think, orange creamscicle

Taste sweet with mild sour tart, lighter to mild acidity, mild sweet golden malt, but then tons of the added flavors, big orange, tangerine zest, vanilla icing on orange cake and orange creamscicle, little lactose, mild tart mandarin orange like, little alcohol warmth adding to the acidity, juicy creamy, drier finish, lingering alcohol and loads of orange

Mouth is med bod but a bit creamy and juicy, moderate to a bit lower carb, alcohol warmth a little too high, mild acidity but not flemmy

Overall this was pretty enjoyable, delivers everything it promises, blends nicely and has a decent base kettle sour, just the alcohol a bit much and carb a bit low
