Lagunitas Dark Swan Experimental (from their One Hitter series) Sour Ale 4.25/5

A really delicious sour that they should consider putting in the regular rotation. A nice sour nose from the house yeast and a deep purple hue from the syrah wine grapes used to brew this small batch sour made me slightly apprehensive about this beer. More than once I've sampled the experimentals and wondered who authorized the release to the drinking public. That is definitely not the case here. At 7.9 ABV (per the bottle,8.7 on the internet. one of them must be correct) and 23 IBUs I'm guessing the SRM to be 10 since the hue is deeply purple. The initial hit is sour, really sour but not in a bad way. The middle builds to a nice full mouth and tails off to a tart crisp finish reminiscent of tart cherry. This is a very dry ale over all and I would love to see what the keg version is like in comparison.
As always I have no connection to any of these breweries and the opinions are just my own take as I work thru new brews.
Thank you for taking the time to put some eyes on my stuff,
