Sisyphus Raspberry Mango Never-Lasting Gobstopper

Sisyphus Raspberry Mango Never-Lasting Gobstopper. 3% ABV. 20 IBU. Sisyphus Brewing, Minneapolis, MN. Canned 8/20/18. (I've been sitting on this a bit too long, but it shall be none the worse for wear.)

It's clouded, opaque, and all the colors of the raspberry, with a slim, forgotten head.

In the nose: Fruity, fruity, fruity. Big and berry-y.

In the mouth: Tart starts it off, flush with fruit. Delightful and delicious. Fresh 'n' zesty. Long tactile presence on the palate. Mango hangs just below the raspberry, doing a tidy tango. This is nice. Full flavors, long sour. Interminal tart. Long-lasting fruit. And just terrific. I'm enjoying this one all the way down.

From Brewer Sam:
Inspiration for beers and beer names can come from all sorts of places. In this case, our sour beer "Neverlasting Gobstopper", comes from one of my favorite movies from my childhood, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." 
Everyday I come to work and brew beer I feel like Willy Wonka, but just because of the messed up things we do to people on our tours. 
This mouth-puckering beer will be infused rotating mixtures of fruit, differing every batch. This round we used Raspberries. How long will this last on tap? We are...never...quite sure. And if anyone knows how to get their hands on some snozberries, we'd appreciate the help.
