A - Pours a hazy golden orange with a thin creamy white head. Light soapy lacing.

S - Aroma is coconut, vanilla, lavender and some light lactic notes.

T - The taste is candied lemon, pineapple, coconut, vanilla and subtle lavender.

M - Medium body with medium carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel with a soft dry finish.

O - This is a killer beer. Perfect balance of sweet and sour.

16 FL. OZ. can
Served in a HOMES wine glass

This beer pours amber and is hazy. It is topped with an inch of tan head that leaves little lacing.

The lavender really comes through in the smell. I can detect the lactose through the tartness of the aroma.

The lavender stands up well to the tartness of this beer. The lactose adds a little sweetness to cut through the sour. The coconut shows up in the aftertaste.

Medium bodied with a creamy mouthfeel

This is a unique beer, a lavender sour. The coconut is subtle. This is surprisingly refreshing. HOMES makes some sours with ingredients that I have never tried in a sour.

Really great tropical sour DIPA here, reminds me of drinking a key lime pie. Really nice rich golden pale orange in the glass, floral lavender nose. Floral, lavender, tropical coconut on the tongue, tart juicy lime/citrus, really nice smooth creamy vanilla finish. Well balanced, glad they took a risk.
