Introducing all new Plum Crazy Ale Sour. It’s a 5.5% kettle sour that takes you a step further down the path of tartness; slightly increasing both the acidity and the quantity of fruit to provide a more puckering, flavorful experience. A bursting plum aroma hits you from the first crack of the can, before a pleasant tart flavor greets you on the first sip, bringing with it a balancing sweetness. Perfect for day drinking and day dreaming!

This WAY far surpassed my expectations. I have no lack of love for plums, but was surprised at the not overly-sweet balance here, and a delicious malt backbone, which is what I judge all sours by. I love that crackery backbone so much.

3.75/5  rDev -8.5%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Look: Pours a beautiful ruby red tinted amber. An aggressive pinkish white head, rising to the top and falling quickly to a thin ring that maintains throughout the pour. Not much lacing to speak of.

Aroma: Has a very funky, acidic, tart fruit aroma. I’m not sure the nose is going to nail down any fruit in particular here but it is a jammy, seedy, fresh fruit note on the backend.

Taste: Its tart when it hits the tongue, not off putting but the sour base is definitely present. Notes of ripe plumb, acidic funk, and sweet malt carry me through the bill.

Feel: This is a very soft beer. It definitely drinks like a fruit juice, very mild carbonation, crisp on the finish. Delightful.

Overall: I feel this was a simple flavor concept, not over done in any one way. It is one dimensional but the flavors were good and I did enjoy the beverage. I’m going to go 3.75 across the board here.
