Want beer? Also, want cake? Some will tell you that you can't have it all. But the brewers of Southern Grist says otherwise. Their carrot cake inspired sour ale is proof that you can have your cake and drink it too.

Pale and pastel with golden peach and slightly orange tinted hues, Non-Fungible Treats hits the glass with a frothy, creamy viscosity and a scent of pastry, cake batter, fall spices, citrus, tropical fruit and sweet vegetation. Sweet once on the palate, early impressions of butter cream, vanilla, brown sugar and honey all seem wrapped in that cake batter density.

As the beer rolls across the middle palate, other fruitier nuance come out in the forms of orange, mango, lime, apple and peach, along with those nuanced carrot flavors to allow the beer to steer in that carrot cake direction. Trending tart as the ale looses its creamy sweetness, the late taste balances with a light and herbal bitterness, but also a nearly winey tartness that closes the session briskly acidic.

Tart, refreshing and acute with its sourness, the smoothie sour ale is also warming with those cinnamon, nutmeg and vinous alcohol spice while the ale finishes on the tart side of sweet-tart. It is a fun beer that shows the more experimental side of sour ale but surely departs from any classic notion of what beer has traditionally been.
