6 oz draft pour at Lures Bar & Grille. This has a predominant flavor of lime and mango, with some bright cucumber notes as well. I did not get any heat (or smoke) from the habanero (or chipotle), but it is nevertheless a very tasty and refreshing fruited sour.

Canned 9/1/20 "GOTTA YELL IT."
Hazy yellow, with 1 finger of quickly-dissipating white head. Looks like slightly diluted pineapple juice.
Smell is sour mango, ripe pepper, slight pineapple, and a slight, smokey, barbecue-sauce-leaning(sort of ;) ) funk.
A neighbor is burning some wet &/or green wood, that is on the verge of making my eyes water, so the smoky part may or may be not in the beer, originally. It's in my glass now, though. ;)
Taste is mango, tangelo, slight sourdough bread crust, habanero* pepper, with slight heat, mostly on the finish & beyond, papaya, and a hint of sweet apple+pear at finish. A little melon+cucumber skin, as it warms. Moderate sourness, less than a typical Berliner or gose, but noticeable.
* The Tap Menu says "Chipotle" peppers, but the can says "Habanero" . Guessing that the tap list is a failure to edit the original description from EBF '19? I get more of a habanero vibe. Maybe both?
Feel is medium light, but not watery, with moderate very,very fine carbonation, that is initially soft, then finishes sharp , and accentuates the pepper burn. Light pepper heat throughout, with slightly more noticeable pleasant burn lingering awhile after finish . Light mucilaginous feel at the back of the palate after finish, as is typical with sour ales.
Overall, just fantastic! Great balance. The pepper compliments everything else, and doesn't overwhelm, while remaining noticeable. Even non-capsaicinophiles will likely enjoy it.The rest of the beer would be top-notch, even without the pepper. For those that can't get enough heat, there's enough to enjoy, & you can always add more of your own, if you need it. Worth a try if you like sour styles, or Les Habs. (No, not the ones from Montreal ;) )
