Sip, Sip, SIP!! is what is written here in these walls. This is a funky, tart and minor sour beer with lots of fruity notes. More sweet than sour. Sourness is just a fruit sour really. Flavors of cherries, blackberries, grapes, apples, cinnamon, melon, oak, caramel, almonds, hazel, herbs and other spices. The sourness lingers very little. Mainly leaving a sweet dry finish. Quite the beer here. While La Roja by Jolly Pumpkin is similar yet emphasizes more on the wine sourness, this one is more on sweetness. So choose wisely as to what you like more, sweet vs. sour or the combination of both, just like the Platypus in that pic (Duck Beaver Hybrid) 😛
