This double fruited sour ale matches its siblings at a sparkling 4.9% ABV, but this variant has been slammed full of fresh papaya, tangerine and marshmallow! The result is a delightful blend of citrus and tropical fruits, rounded out by a fluffy and rich marshmallow back end. It tastes like fruited vanilla smoothies and freshly made gelato!

Poured looking like orange juice with an inch-plus soap bubble head that formed a foam cap then fell to nothing.
Smell is straight fruit cocktail with a supplement of vanilla marshmallow. I find no trace of the base beer here.
The taste is similar. Ample tangerine and papaya wrapped in a vanilla marshmallow taste. Very slightly sour against the sweeter fruits. No taste of the beer portion.
Feel is like a carbonated fruit juice, but it's not thick or heavy.
Overall, it delivers what they intended but I have a hard time calling this a beer. It's fruit-heavy which was the intent, but the beer base is just overwhelmed. It's a bubbly fruity pop. I don't get the Gelato reference at all.
