Another combo effort. I should really add a tag for combo beers; I'm pretty sure the net effect of two breweries trying to brew a beer together is the same as when you have an Employee Engagement Group or the like - the dull, mind-numbing result is always exactly the wrong solution to any problem.
The bubbles on this thing are pretty odd. I don't mean that bubbles themselves are strange to me, but they are odd for bubbles on top of a beer. They look like big, lazy soap bubbles from a bath where a beautiful lady has just kicked back to read from her favorite book and drink an adult beverage as she unwinds. She better bathe quickly, though, as the bubbles don't hang around long, so this scene will get an R rating. The partly hazy, dull bronze beer is also putting off the aroma of funked yeast and vaguely tropical fruits.
First sip is sour. It's not so sour that I grab my glass and throw it against the nearest wall, but it's sour enough that I give it a stern look and tell it to settle itself down. The funk seems to cut the sour down a bit, and the fruits are trying to do something while the yeast is pretty much just adding the funk.
Tip-in is sour and funk with grains and carbonation tingle. The middle stretches out to put the sourness on the back burner (but it's still cooking) and brings the grains forward with a bit of fruit. The finish is more funk and sour.
Bottom Line: Nope, I will not like these sour beers.
1.25/5
