1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - this is apparently a cherry-flavoured kettle sour, and presumably named after a retro rock band called Mink DeVille.

This beer pours a clear, medium salmon amber colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly pale pink head, which leaves a few instances of forked lightning pattern lace around the glass as it slowly recedes.

It smells of bready and doughy cereal malt, sour milk, cherry and lemon juice, and very subtle earthy, musty, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, cherry yogurt, aged lemon rind, mildly estery yeast, and more well-understated leafy, musty, and musky floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly timid in its palate-probing frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, with just a touch of fruity tartness taking a minor tithe at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the malt and lingering cherry essences presiding.

Overall - this comes across as a rather approachable version of the style, not too tart and/or funky (at all, really). Simple, easy to drink, and quite refreshing, as I enjoy the day in lieu for Remembrance Day being on a Sunday this year.
