Purchased at Ocean Grove Cellars in March 2025 and drunk in July that year.
L: Thick golden yellow in the glass with a fluffy bright white head that quickly recedes to a thin covering. No carbonation is visible through the murk.
S: The nose is watermelon- and passionfruit-flavoured candy. There's also a slightly sour/sherbetty tinge pervading everything. But, it's a fruited sour and very much on point for that.
T: This tastes exactly as expected from the nose. There's a fruity, lactic, watermelon and sherbet taste profile, with enough puckering sourness to get the saliva flowing and force a second sip soon after the first. The sherbetty sourness lingers long after the swallow, giving the beer a refreshing and bracing finish. The reality is that while this matches the style, it's so far from what used to be considered a beer as to be almost from another planet. To top it off, my wife likes this one, and she thinks beer is disgusting!
M: The beer's body is light and spritzy. Carbonation is minimal, and carbonic bite is almost non-existent.
O: The last few sentences in the taste profile sum this one up. It's quite nice and certainly drinkable, but if I never came across this beer again, my life will go on just fine.
Cheers!
