From a 16oz can, undated, purchased at the brewery 10/04/20. Served in a tulip.
Pours a tranluscent cranberry juice cocktail-colour with orange highlights and a scant half-finger of violently pink foam. Retention is fleeting, collapsing to a mere memory and a bit of fizz.
No nose to speak of, some juice, cranberry juice cocktail come to think of it. Would probably have more aroma if I let it warm up, but that’s just not going to happen.
Taste is, in fact, strongly reminiscent of cranberry juice cocktail but with a little bit of sweet and tangy, like strawberries. So, also very much like Oooh! Strawberries by Proclamation.
Juicy, but with a creamy, sort of fatty, whipped cream mouth-coating feel. Medium bodied with bright, tingly carbonation.
I’m not enough an aficionado of sours to judge the merits of the beer relative to style but I did enjoy it fine.

Cans purchased from the Brewery location on 4/25/20. Opened and reviewed on 4/27/20. The can art/lable is amazing, local artist Emily Royal.
Pours out into this petite tulip glass looking Beet red! Lambic style, pint tinted white foam cap is thick and smooth. Very dense and Lacy.
The fruity aromatics are bold: Sweet and sour Blackberry and Red Current smells great. The sweet creaminess from milk sugar brings it all home.
Smells like a milkshake Lambic.
The flavor is an abundance of wild red berries with a smooth and velvety edge of milk sugar. More of a "beer" flavor than most Belgian Lambic's, with a hefty and smooth malty body, but still developing a wild/sour yeast kick amongst the other aspects. The balance of fruity/creamy/sour is exceptional for this style.
West LA Beer Co. Nailed it.
