New Belgium Brewing / Hopworks Urban Brewery Fat Tire and Friends Fat Sour Apple Ale Sour / Wild Ale at 5.9% ABV (C$3.12 at Quarry Park Calgary Co-Op, 355 ml, best before 20-Nov-2016, acquired 17-Aug-2016, reviewed 17-Aug-2016)
Appearance: clear deep gold with a short, short-lived off-white head, no lacing. (3/5) Aroma: apples, butyric, bready caramel, light burnt rubber. (4/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter, light tart. (4/10) Medium body, lively carbonation, off-dry and slightly tart finish. (3/5)
Part of the “Fat Tire and Friends Collabeeration Pack”. Wish I could say I was wrong about my prediction for this, but, well, I can’t. Smells like apple cider, tastes like puke and burnt rubber. OK, OK, I exaggerate – slightly. Tastes like apple cider, puke, and burnt rubber, happy? I mean, yeah, of course I’d rather drink this than Bud Lite Lime, but that’s not saying a whole lot, is it? Can’t really recommend this one, unless you’re possessed of a morbid curiosity. (9/20)
