Sour to the People
Axe & Arrow

 

 

It's listed as 7.5% ABV on this pint can, but that's irrelevant. After poured into a clear glass liter mug, it looks more like a hazy NEIPA than a sour. The color is murky orange-amber. It smells a little like a crushed SweetTart candy. There is prominent carbonation, but no head nor glass lace. Light across the tongue and only mildly tart/sour, this could be dangerous on a warm day. A 9% ABV would be even more dangerous. In this case, its light body only enables it to glide down the throat readily, rather than make it seem something is missing. Missing is the taste of alcohol. There's just a hint of malt and yeast, so you know you're drinking some sort of beer. For the style, this is just a bit short of great because it's missing some pronounced sourness or tartness. But this sure goes down nicely. The bit of sediment at the bottom of the mug was welcomed.
