355ml can - their long-running kettle sour, this time double dry-hopped with Apollo, and then post-crash (I'll have to look that one up) with Super Pride (ditto).
This beer pours a hazy, pale golden straw colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves some decent awkwardly webbed lace around the glass as it slowly sinks out of sight.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, a subtly funky yeastiness, soured milk solids (I have a sample of the real deal in my fridge right now, so I can verify!), faint domestic citrus rind, and some plain leafy, spicy, and resinous piney green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, watery yogurt (got some of that, too), still tame generic citrus notes, and more understated earthy, musty, and piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-coating frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and mostly smooth, with just a touch of citrus astringency surprisingly the guilty proverbial pea here. It finishes trending dry, the malt, mild tartness, and mixed hoppy essences presiding.
Overall - this is yet another rather well-made version of the style, with the trick of simply changing up the hop schedule each time apparently working. I have heard a few gripes from people who want to buy a particular iteration again, only to find it replaced, but y'all can imagine my take on the situation.
