L -- Hazy ruby nectarine body with two fingers of fizzy white head that dissipates fairly quickly. Minimal retention and some lacing
S -- Strawberry candy, ripe cherry, raspberry cordial, bubblegum. Really quite pleasant, doesn't smell artificial in the least
T -- Less 'brunch'-like than the prior Silhouette variants I've had. Pretty much a straightforward strawberry lemonade thing going on here. Not overwhelmingly tart, nor overwhelmingly fruity
F -- Light mouthfeel, medium+ carb. Very refreshing
85/100

No canning date (released on 6/11/20, so presumably canned within a few days of that date)
Pours a vivid, foggy strawberry red body capped with multiple fingers of rosé-hued foam; solid head retention yields a rocky half-finger of soapy cap, moderate, frothy collar, and a temporary, occasional cluster of chunky, webby lacing.
Aromas of soft strawberry mesh with hints of fruit gum to a grassy prickle over the middle, while a wave of fruit punch and lemon meeting tart lactic acidity rounds out a quiet complexity to the bouquet.
Taste offers a direct strawberry note upfront, inviting a vinous tinge and hints of guava and fruit punch over time; an undertone of cream appears on the mid-palate, phasing cleanly into a casually flowing lactic acidity as authentic strawberry compote meets grassy hops and light funk through the finish.
Mouthfeel features a taut, light body with a spritzy, moderate carbonation; a rounded, moderate tartness with a steady, milder acidity carries across the palate with an ever-present and underlying citric brightness into a crackery-dry finish.
As light and easy as it is complex and refreshing, the ample tartness and robust profile have this lighter, fruited wild ale/'sour IPA' drinking with a quenching punch.

"Brunch style sour with strawberry"
Tall can w/o dating info. Direct from the source a week ago.
Pours clouded, pinkish, guava, strawberry in color, delicate near white mini cap, and leaving a thin collar, fine bubble film and minimal lacing left on the glass. Nice looking brew.
Fresh and fruity sniff, with strawberry and lime coming to mind.
Delicious, fresh tasting, complex and over the top worthy brew. About a 3 or 4 on my personal sour/tart meter. Bright, light, crisp and refreshing....great summary beer, with waves of grapefruit, lime, guava, yes strawberry and general citric tarty goodness....more world class wild ale/sour nectar from HVB.....go get some
