Can from Bridge Liquors in Newport.
A mildly hazy light orange with a white head that falls off rapidly leaving no lacing, this looks decent. The nose is a blend of yogurty, lactic wheat sourness with a blend of kiwi and guava with the papaya playing a minor role. The guava is actually quite nicely expressed. The nose is a little flat, though. The palate's a lot punchier, with the lactic sourness pairing well with the fruit, especially the guava, with a ripe white guava note. The papaya flavor is mild and is most noticeable on the finish. Crisp and refreshing on the palate, this beer is light in body and moderate-high in carbonation. The finish is yogurty and mildly fruity. Refreshing.

Poured into a tall tulip, the appearance was a glossy bronzed orange color with a small cap of a little white foamy head. This dissipated fairly quick and didn't leave any lace.
The aroma had a nice balance between kiwi and guava, but the papaya seemed to be a bit lesser. Sly sweet grassy to sour lemon tone mellows some of the sweet lactose.
The flavor holds the sour feature at the front and then allowing some tart kiwi and guava skin to push into the full frame of the taste as it warms. Slight aftertaste of guava and an even sligher touch of papaya.
The mouthfeel was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Lactose helped keep the pucker factor fairly low in this. ABV felt good. Finish was semi-sticky with a sour pucker but light.
Overall, very nice modern sour ale that I would come back to.
