REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured clear amber into a pint glass. Limited effervescent head with tiny bubbles. No lacing. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Tart strawberry-blueberry experience. Honey provides a wonderful contrast. 5/5

Taste (40%): Follows the nose. Tart strawberry-blueberry from start to finish. Honey offsets some of the tartness. Delicious and addicting. Flavor bomb. 5/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, good carbonation. Very juicy with virtually no dry tongue. 4.5/5

Overall (20%): A world-class fruit sour / tart ale. There's so much tart fruit flavor in this, my taste buds went into overdrive and kept going back for more. Another perfect summer beer, but get it whenever Great Notion releases it...it is that good. 4.75/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.875/5
