Wolf of the Willows – Acidulus II New England Sour, 2017, 5.7%ABV, 375ml can.
Drank on 1/12/2017, from I.B.S.
Appearance: 2.5 – Light orange, golden, hazy, minimal head, little to no lacing.
Smell/Aroma: 3 – Fruity, yeasty, candy sugar, fruit punch cordial, very little lactic funk. as it warms there a bit more funk smell and the other smells subside and disappear.
Taste: 2.5 – No noticeable malt. Yeasty and Hoppy, some sourness, with a lot of hop fruity juicyness initially. Continued sipping leads to a dry mineral aftertaste with a very hoppy bitterness. A yeasty spice hangs around. Some funky flavours too.
Mouthfeel/Palate: 2 – Its fizzy, a little acid bite on the tongue.
Overall: 2.5 – Its not bad. 2nd hazy style, after the Lemon Juicy, that seems to have leaned toward yeastyness for some reason.
