Eastlake Kirby Pucker #17. Coconut & Pineapple Sour aged on oak and mescal. "if you like Pina Colada." 5.2% ABV.
Clear, bright golden, slim to none head of foam.
In the nose: funky, fruity, sour. What? Oh, I'm getting the pineapple, it's thick and pungent. Sweet, tart, and wild & weird. Very interesting.
In the mouth: Wow! Intense puckeration. Lively souring. Lean bodied, sleek, tasty and sour. Nice, if you like that. (and I do.) Pineapple is here. Coconut? I'm not getting it. Some citrus at play here, and, hey, wait, here's a touch of the coconut. Thought you'd get away, eh, little guy?
Not great, but not bad, either.
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.
