16 oz can, no date, into Crane snifter.
$4.99 at Hy-Vee.

Pours a very thick burgundy pink color with a raspberry pink head of 2 fingers. Leaves slight skirted lacing in the form of sediment. Has a bunch of sediment in the body too, likely from the fruit, definitely not filtered in any way. Just a little ugly but probably appropriate. I have a feeling I'm going to have a fruit mustache from this one.

Aroma gives me a lot of fresh pineapple, followed by raspberry, then guava, banana, and vanilla. Semi-tropical. A bit of Dole Whip action. Smelling tasty.

Flavor is raspberry, pineapple, vanilla, and banana. It's delicious. It's like a milkshake. Not overdone on the sweetness, seems they found their balance. Slight tartness, no sourness. One could probably disqualify this as a sour ale, because there is no sourness to it. It is all fruit. Which is okay by me, but it is definitely more of a wild ale. It's got dat thang.

Feel is really thick, probably the thickest beer outside of a stout I've had. Pretty imperial. What I do not like is the slivers of fruit pith that stick to my palate. Completes the experience yes, but I've never been a fan of chunky beer. A bit of heat on the breath but mostly hidden at 8%.

Overall, yes, this is a pretty dang outstanding beer. Super tasty, I'm beginning to warm up to the Puff Tart series. 2 out of 2 are winners for me. I'll be a-comin' back.

Price paid : $4.99 / can
Would buy again : maybe this one, definitely the series though.

Brewing Projekt Puff Tart XL Raspberry/Guava/Pineapple/Vanilla Fruit Sour, 7.91% ABV. Pours gloppy thick and opaque medium red, with a two-finger pink head that left tons of puree residue. Nose is raspberry, pineapple and vanilla. Flavor is mostly raspberry, some pineapple, and a hint of vanilla, moderately tart, slightly sweet. Thick and smooth mouthfeel with light carbonation. Overall excellent, but not the best variant of this I've had.
