While you wouldn't know it by taste, this beer is brewed with Pineapple and Kiwi. That doesn't make it bad, quite the opposite as a matter of fact. This beer is on the more sour side for Weisse's. There is a ever so subtle note of sweetness. It almost tastes like the fruits were added to the beer when they weren't entirely ripe leaving a bitter flavor. That may sound like a criticism but trust us you will want to try this beer. It was pretty unanimously considered the best beer of the night.
The flavoring of this beer stumped the Lizards almost entirely. For about 10 minutes we sat around and tried to describe this flavor with no avail. Ultimately we had to read the description of this beer and that did shed some light on it for us considerably. Per the description, this beer utilizes Cherry flavoring during the brewing of this beer. We believe that is what through us off because it definitely not a natural cherry flavor. It is much more akin to that of a cherry jolly-rancher or any candy with "Cherry Flavoring." Reception was mostly positive of this beer and worth a try for sure.
The flavor profile of this beer was one that seems obvious upon reading the description but was surprisingly difficult for us to describe. The description states that most prominent flavors are lemon and lime. Some Lizards picked up on that but it seemed to take a little while. One Lizard equated the flavoring of this beer similar to a semi dry white wine. The others Lizards agreed with him somewhat but agreed that something was off. It is definitely worth a try but we believe that Destihl has better sours in particular.
This was a fairly unique and memorable beer in our eyes. While the sour flavor isn't as strong as other sours that we have had, the hop flavors have ample room to stretch their legs. This cocktail of hops combined with the sour notes produces a flavor that we thought tasted very reminiscent of apple. However, our opinions may may have been colored from our expectations going into the beer. All in all, it's a very good beer that was one of the favorites of the night for all members of the Table
One of the most prominent features of this beer is the balance that is struck between the natural Raspberry flavor/tartness and the sour flavors akin to sour beers. The two flavors blend together in an amazing way that is extremely satisfying. If we had to knock this beer at all, we would say that the raspberry flavor is pretty light and could be more forward. However, the argument could be made that the less intense flavor is what makes this an extremely drinkable and favorable experience. Very good beer, Everyone at the Table liked this beer a lot
This beer was sour our introduction to the world of Sour IPAs and what a hell of an introduction! This beer takes the traits of Midwest IPAs and blends them with the sour taste that you would be familiar with. The balance between the opposing flavors is very very well done. You taste both sides of the spectrum and they go together exquisitely. This beer was very well liked all around the Table
This beer starts with a very strong pepper flavor, pretty similar to another beer that we have had from this brewery. This beer catches more of that pepper flavor and even some of the heat. On the sour note, it's more intense than others beers from this brewery but still on the tamer side in our opinion. This was a very well liked beer taking the number one slot for several of the Lizards
Very very unique beer to say the least. One of the main flavors is that of a Jalapeno, and it was the very first thing that we noted when we reviewed it. This beer is "spicy" but not hot if you understand what we mean. Imagine taking a Jalapeno and stripping out all the membranes and seeds leaving you with a very strong pepper flavor but little heat. The main spicy flavor is contrasted nicely with subtle notes of citrus. Very good beer all around. Was well liked around the Table
This sour is more on the tart side of the spectrum than intense sour. We found that was a theme from many of the beers from Jolly Pumpkin. Other than the tartness at the beginning of this taste there was only one other stand out flavor and even that was really only a hint of some kind of fruit. No ingredient was listed on the bottle but we threw around a couple of ideas on the kind of fruit used such as plum or pear. All in all we were pretty positive on this beer. Some liked it more than others, but no one disliked it by any means
This brew is a blend of a smoked porter and atart cherry kriek. As you can imagine this creates an extremely interesting and unique flavor. The Cherry tartness and the porter qualities blend together in an amazing way. Neither flavor overwhelms and creates a balanced tasting. This was extremely well liked across the Table. It's a shame that it's discontinued.
This sour is pretty intense in this brew. So much so, that the sour is overwhelming whatever fruit is used in the brewing process. The description notes apple and watermelon and guava but sll of those flavors get completely trounced by the sour. Not a bad sour by any means but there are better out there. Overall was mostly well liked around the Table.
This beer might be among the most unique beers we have ever had on Lizard Liquors. The flavor profile pits 2 very different flavors, apricot and ginger, against each other, and does so in a pleasing way. The ginger is right on the cusp of being overpowering so if you're not into that flavor you may not like it as much. We around the Table however loved it and would highly recommend.
Everything about this beer is top class. The presentation is amazing in the larger than normal bottle and the corked top. The color of the beer is a beautiful dark red that tells you what to expect. Serves with a very small head due to the rather aggressive carbonation. Flavor profile is more subtle than other raspberry sours, but they balance together in a pleasing way. It has a moderately dry finish perhaps from the lambic acids in the brewing process or the maybe the carbonation. This beer was very well received around the Table and would definitely recommend
This beer has a very dark color with only a hint of the red from the raspberry. It almost looks like it could pass off for Iced Tea if you're looking to go incognito.... The flavor is exactly what you would come to expect from Avery. The sour is very prominent in the forefront of the taste and the raspberry gets to shine in the later half of the taste and after taste. The subtle sweetness of the raspberry and sour contrast very well with one another. The Table was very happy with this beer and would highly recommend.
Very subtle apricot flavor during the back end of the taste. The forefront, however, is dominated with a very very sour flavor. If you're used to the more sour variety then you will be right at home. If not, be prepared for something entirely new. The Lizards were very very receptive to this beer and would recommend. If any constructive criticism had to be offered then we would say give the apricot flavors more room to propagate and stand out.
