A good sour with a unique twist with the lime and vanilla flavors. Unusual but the flavors work together. Rated on Episode 21 of the Foam and Lace Podcast.

Pours an effervescent amber/orange color with 2 fingers of beige head, vanishes quickly. No head retention or lacing
S: Berries & vanilla, persists throughout the tasting
T: Follows the nose, not super tart, dry enough up front. Lime works though as this beer warms up, along with salt, berries & vanilla. Finishes slight tart, certainly sweet, a little dry with lime & sweet berries
MF: Medium body, dialed back carbonation, some stickiness on the teeth, not much
Fun, easy to drink, this worked for me

Pours slightly hazy, bright raspberry red with deluge of tiny bubbles and a small bubbled head of foam. Aroma is blackberry predominantly, with lime following. Vanilla, if it's there, is extremely faint. Taste is sour, perhaps more on the very tart side, with lime and blackberry profiles hand in hand in presence. The brew is smooth and clean.

Poured from a 16 oz can into a long fluted short stem glass.
Beautiful cherry-raspberry red body with a carbonation that brings a full finger head of pink bubbles.
Aromas are all there: raspberry, lime and vanilla.
Taste follows tart raspberry up front, followed by lime and vanilla at the end.
Medium mouthfeel that starts tart and finishes clean.
Overall, definitely one I will get again! Hidden Springs is always killing it with the Florida Weisses!

Pours the color of cranberry ginger ale with a half finger of head. The nose has berry notes that are more sweet than tart. The flavor profile has those same berries but it's more tart than sweet. Lime is prominent on the finish.

Tastes of ripe fruit with the perfect amount of sweetness. Hints of cherry and vanilla with a perfect amount of carbonation. Perfect for drinking in the Tampa sun!

I have tasted many sour and saison beers. This is top rated among them. It has sweetness to it. I am not one for sweet drinks, but that is the only way to describe it.
