Purchased in October from Siciliano's.
Pours opaque maroon. Reminds me of the pomegranate that I was just eating. Not quite a half inch of light maroon foam that eventually leaves for better opportunities. There is some lacing that looks like it has fruit bis.
Aroma is light tart and berries. Not a distinct berry, but a berry medley. There is strong vanilla that is easily mistaken for lactose sugar. If I had to single out a berry: raspberry even though it isn't in the beer.
Taste follows the nose quite closely. The berriness of the aroma is overshadowed by the vanilla that picks up mid-palate, dominating the rest of the way. Fruit seeds/bits abound.
Surprised by the like of full palate carbonation. Hits up front but quickly leaves. Oily and vanilla in the finish which once again leaves me thinking milk sugar over vanilla.
Based on the can and the beer store worker, I thought this would knock my socks off. I wish I would have payed more attention to the kettle sour (not a huge fan) but even more so the vanilla. The vanilla is a problem throughout the beer and the senses, throwing off my experience. I would not have this beer again. Enjoy! - 1,173 characters
