Destihl Brewery Synchopathic Dry Hopped Sour Sour / Wild Ale at 6% ABV | 8 IBU (US$1.97 at Specs Main Houston, 355 ml, bottle date 20-Oct-2016, acquired 8-Mar-2017, reviewed 24-Mar-2017)
Appearance: hazy medium gold with a short, short-lived loose off-white head no lacing. (3/5) Aroma: lacto sour, citrus, herbal/floral, hint of brine. (6/10) Taste: high tart, moderate sweet, minimal bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, dry intensely tart finish. (3/5)
Meh. Very much a one-trick pony: all tart, all the time. And not complex tart, either. Nope, just straightforward lacto sour. The dry hopping does lend some character to the nose, but the tongue is simply too overwhelmed by acid to resolve much else. Nothing wrong with it, as such, if you want a seriously sour mildly alcoholic lemonade. (12/20)
