Conditioned on oodles of juicy watermelon and brewed with just a hint of Himalayan sea salt. No matter what season it truly is, summer is a place in your heart, and this is the perfect sour ale for mixing into your favorite cocktail!

DATE: December 26, 2025... OCCASION: Having finished Otto's Winter Tart & Soul, I decided to reverse course and review Departed Souls' gluten-free summer counterpart... GLASSWARE: Lindemans footed tulip... pours a golden orange body with faint, small bubbles...its head dissipates rapidly... watermelon, ocean mist, tart candied sugars, and some nondescript citrus make for a refreshing suggestion... its body is thin early, puckering and sharp... for its relatively strong ABV, it doesn't weigh on the experience... its aftertaste is effervescent, alive and endearing far beyond its finish... the watermelon is tart and appropriately prominent, while the salt necessitates some lip licking... by the same token, this utilizes its non-malt ballast to craft an experience that is more than a wine spritzer or Surf Side stand-in... the millet, oats, and maize work to approximate a low end without dragging it down... a welcome combination that makes its singular profile worth sipping throughout the year--even in the throws of a post-Christmas snowstorm... DS does it again...
