Slowly (every so slowly), I am becoming a sour convert. This is a complicated beer - interesting, dry, sour, and altogether mystifying. I don't know why I like it, but I do. It looks dandy - hazy straw with a fluffy white head that settles into a low elevation archipelago. The smell is bright - grassy, sharp citrus, and sweet. The taste is equally difficult to pin down - green Jolly Rancher, plain yogurt, wet leaves, malt and hops. It is truly curious that all of these elements combine to make a very satisfying beer.

1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - a kettle soured ale (look it up - I'm sure the Google will work - it's quite popular right now). This second iteration is made with both the Galaxy and '06277' experimental hop varietals.
This beer pours a hazy, pale golden straw colour, with four hefty fingers of puffy, rocky, and slightly bubbly off-white head, which leaves some robust sudsy and streaky lace around the glass as things slowly and evenly subside.
It smells of musty and chalky rock chips, sort of funky orange and white grapefruit pith, a weak piney green astringency, further Pez candy notes, subtle earthy and sour yeasty notes, and further leafy, herbal, and kind of grassy hop bitters. The taste is gently sour milky yogurt, grainy and doughy pale malt, some muddled light orchard fruitiness, further unloved citrus essences, a loitering yeastiness, and more understated leafy, weedy, and piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is damned-near non-existent in its hard to really track down frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and not particularly un-smooth, given the attempt at sourness going on here. It finishes grainy and doughy in its lingering maltiness, with only a wee hint of the milky sourness that was to be.
Overall, this is a fairly agreeable soured, um, something, as the name says, or doesn't say, anything or everything. It's sour, sure, but from the so-called kettle stage (so brief, and not barrel aged), and hopped with some antipodean and otherwise indeterminable hops, which come off as weak, and not altogether influential to the whole affair. Really, this is one of those lower ABV drinkers that one should just stop analyzing, and go and kill the rest of with that pizza languishing on the kitchen counter, eh?
