From Notes
Appearance: Poured with no head and a cloudy gold color without any signs of carbonation showing through the clouds.
Smell: Barley, bread, Rhubarb and lemon with good potency. Pretty much as advertised with solid potency that didn't require warming.
Taste: Biscuit and bread malt to start, with the barest hint of sour rhubarb that builds up as the beer continues, but never entirely drowns out the malt until a dry hop snap resolves things before things get out of control.
Mouthfeel: That dry hop snap does quite the job, as dry biscuit with the barest hint of sour keeps you drinking. The carbonation is a bit low, but in this case if it was higher I think it would ruin the balance of the beer which perfectly reigns its sourness in before it becomes to clingy.
Drinkability: Light bodied and really is a summer glug glug drinker which doesn't get away from the fact that it is a beer, not just some fruited sour thing. Easy on the system and exactly what I want from a sour.
Final Thoughts: When I first had sours, I used to feel their ability to punch was what I wanted. However looking back, that novelty quickly wore out. Now, I want my sour to be tempered, because the offering becomes too clingy on the palate if it's not restrained. This beer accomplishes that very well and I'd be happy to have buy it again.
