Just Toorf Pinerazzguava
Ascension Brewing Company

16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours opaquely hazy/murky ruby red/orange, light pink/purple color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky light pink head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of huge juicy/tart/tangy red raspberry, pineapple, pink guava, fruit skin/seed, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, red grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, white bread dough, light pepper/lacto funk and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of pineapple, raspberry, pink guava, fruity/acidic yeast, and pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge juicy/tart/tangy red raspberry, pineapple, pink guava, fruit skin/seed, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, red grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, white bread dough, light pepper/lacto funk and yeast earthiness. Light fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy red raspberry, pineapple, pink guava, fruit skin/seed, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, red grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, white bread dough, light pepper/lacto funk and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of pineapple, raspberry, pink guava, fruity/acidic yeast, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a fantastic malt/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with zero cloying/puckering flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering tartness and tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready/grainy, and lightly acidic/tangy/tannic mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.4%. Overall this is a fantastic fruited milkshake sour! All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of pineapple, raspberry, pink guava, fruity/acidic yeast, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink with the mildly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish; amazingly soft feel. Amazing balance of super juicy/jammy fruit and Lacto complexity; with a nice sized wheat/malt backing. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing style example as expected. Middle of the road on sweetness/lacto notes vs other variants.
