Clear, light crimson coloring, slim, soon-gone head.In the nose: Now this is funky. Wild yeast aromatics, herbs, vegetables, spices. It doesn't scream "beets!' yet, but I'm sure we'll get there. Very much on the strange side.
In the mouth: intense puckering from the start, sour and a bit sweet at once. Some of the salt is coming through, if not a real beet flavor. Nicely spicy, though. Medium bodied, long-lasting sour, and refreshing. Easy-drinker, for the sour-head. A unique twist on the frequently fruited Gose style. Unless there are other beet versions out there. Maybe there are, but I'm dumb to them.
Stepping up to the plate is Kirby Pucker, our rotation of brews that undergo a second fermentation with lactobacillus.
Every iteration in the series is a unique Eastlake take on postmodern American sour beer. Pucker up! After all, Lake Street Is For Lovers.
