Pours a pretty much orange color with a very short lived fizzy head that vanishes leaving no trace.
The smell is a tiny bit heavy on the vanilla, bit the pineapple and strawberry hold their own. I can detect the base sour beer in the background, so this seems to be starting out in a good direction.
The taste is very bright and lively. The sour base is actually pretty prevalent, and the strawberry and pineapple layer nicely on top. The vanilla...it fits but maybe just a tad bit stronger than it needs to be. That said, it does layer in a very nice level of sweetness, fairly marshmallow-like, actually.
Lightish, quite lively, acidic enough to remind you it's in the sour family. No bitterness to speak of, a touch drying. Maybe just a little towards medium on the mouthfeel, but that is buoyed up by the lively flavors and it feels subjectively lighter than it is.
Overall, the flavor is the star here. It's bright and tasty, vibrant. Nothing got out of control here. In this mild sour the extra "stuff" is added judiciously.
