355ml can poured into tulip 3/9/16
A slight haze in a pale straw yellow body, finger of foam hangs around for a couple sips leaving some random patches
S lemon, pineapple, and faint spruce, has a mineral water thing going on with some yogurt
T more of the same really, maybe just a hint of sulfur but it works, everything's a little faint but what's there I like
M very light and spritzy, not all the sour anyways, no real bitterness either, finish is fairly clean
O I pretty much poured this into my face in no time so that says something, highly drinkable but a little tame at the same time
Too bad Summers almost over because this stuff would work well under a hot sun, smashable stuff for sure. I'd like to see more hops thrown at it or more something anyways but that being said its a decent first offering from these guys..

355ml can - the fourth iteration of their kettle-soured series, this time hopped with Amarillo (by morning), and Chinook (southern Albertan white man's late winter breather) hops.
This beer pours a hazy, very pale golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat fizzy dirty white head, which leaves some sparse and random islet lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of slightly sour lactic acid, a kind of well past its BBD milky character, wan lemon rind notes, subtle mixed malts, a tame earthy flintiness, and some weak leafy, citrusy, and piney West Coast hop acerbities. The taste is still rather forward on the milky and sour creamy front, alongside a gritty pale and (maybe) wheaty maltiness, some muddled citrus (ok, lemon, and underripe white grapefruit and blood orange), and more leafy, weedy, and acerbic Cascadian green hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly stolid in its don't fuck with me frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, if you are of the type to discount yer favourite bittering and/or souring agent, that is. It finishes trending dry, the same milky, and mostly the same green-ass hoppiness as ever was still tantalizing my willing tastebuds.
Overall, it seems that Blindman's use of either experimental or established hops doesn't mean a whole lot in terms of differentiation, as such. In the end, this is another easy to drink, well-made kettle sour, one worthy of summertime sipping requirements, anywhere and anyhow.

Growler filled a few hours ago at the brewery. Pleasant hazy apricot color with white head. It is the mildest kettle sour both in terms of acidity and hoppiness. Feels restrained compared to others, I wonder if they went easy on the hops because of what happened on #3.
