New Belgium Brewing Company Tartastic Lemon Ginger Sour Sour / Wild Ale at 4.5% ABV | 3 IBU (C$3.49 at Oak & Vine, 355 ml, best before 28-Jan-2018, acquired 27-Mar-2017, reviewed 28-Mar-2017)
Appearance: hazy pale straw with a short white head diminishing rapidly to a thin skim, no lacing. (2/5) Aroma: lemon, sulphur, ginger, bready yeast. (6/10) Taste: moderate tart, moderate-low sweet, low bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, off-dry crisp tart and mildly spicy finish. (3/5)
Meh. It’s a mildly alcoholic, vaguely beer-flavoured lemonade. No more, no less. Fine as a thirst quencher, definitely OK for a sunny patio on a hot day, and utterly forgettable. (12/20)
