Next up...people against masks! This version in the "crazy pants" series focuses on a fruit we have never used before! The hefty addition of gooseberries contributes an aroma of kiwi/tropical fruit and delivers a nice citrus acidity. The elderflower not only rounds out the sip with a subtle earthiness on the back end but also showcases some lychee and pear flavors. This is by far, one of the head brewers favorite crazy pants to date.

The beer I purchased was Crazy Pants and listed Gooseberry and Elderflower. Unlike the first beer rated here, there was no mention of "Sorbet" and the .abv was 6.5% .abv instead of 6.0% I'm sure it was the same beer though. Poured a bright, hazy dark gold/orange color with a medium very fizzy head that dies out quickly. The aroma is kind of tropical fruity (probably the gooseberry) . The can said "vanilla" too but I didn't detect much of that. Taste was fruity, sour with a little lactose. This was the least complex beer I have had from Oozlefinch!!!! Usually they throw everything but the kitchen sink into their Kettle Sours!!!! This beer had a few, very distinctive flavors. Mouthfeel is moderately sour and fairly rich. Goes down easy. I would try this one again!!!
