storms a-comin'

The final beer for the final day needs to be something special, and I had my super stout yesterday, so it's time for a different kind of special.  It is still summer after all, so something light and snappy would be nice.  As for the brewery, Basqueland is pretty much always a safe choice, innovation or not.  I ended up with Necto Cooler, a fruit sour, not too complicated with nectarine and passion fruit.  Huh, passion fruit again.  Must be a trend.  Although maybe not quite as powerful as IPAs, but it's the fashion of the summer.

We're back to the cloudy beers, this time with a rich golden orange color.  Head is bright white and fizzy, and evaporates quickly.  There's fruit in the aroma, sour and tongue-twisty, but also some banana and vanilla.  The taste is a sort of candy type, one of those sweet and sour kinds.  I'm reminded of chewy candies, something like Starburst, with a little bit of cream in there too.  There is a hint of yogurt, natural yogurt sprinkled with fruit bits, so healthy feeling and perky.  Just the kind of wild thing to go with thunderstorms.
