Passionfruit Pucker
Two Roots Brewing / Cannabiniers

I can't tell when this was canned. There is some ink on the bottom of the can but it came out in a vaguely key-shaped blob. Pretty sure it's reasonably fresh, though. Sub two-month, anyway.

Pours a hazy peach and, my lord, I can already smell the passionfruit (and sour funk) popping out of the glass. Before I get too distracted by the overwhelming aroma, the body is murky in a way that looks like fresh fruit pulp was blended in. There's a few small, dandruff-sized chunks floating about. Some people might be put off by it, but I think it goes with the territory. No foul from where I sit. Almost zero head, though, and thus nothing to retain or from which to create lace. Holy shit I'm getting pretentious tonight. Who the hell writes like that? Anyway, there's a very overwhelming rotted fruit funkiness steaming offa this. It's very aggressive. Some are really going to like it and others will likely be so put-off as to not even wager a taste. Me, I'm somewhere in a neutral middle camp. I'm not crazy about the smell, but I'm still going to drink it. And... whoa! That is fucking SOUR! Like, goddamn. Right in your fucking face with it. Much like the smell, some are going to love it and others will be seriously turned off. As for me, it's an acquired taste, but I'm liking it the more I drink it. It is _really_ aggressive, though. The label speaks of a yeast strain "that produces an explosion of fruit-tinged lactic acid" which is the sort of boasting I generally roll my eyes at, but in this case I'm inclined to believe it. Wow. If you like your sours completely unrestrained, this may just be for you.
