Hello friends and Happy Friday! Jack from The Intoxicated Review welcoming you back to the blog as well as the weekend. Today’s beer is a collaboration beer between Strike Brewing Company and Clandestine Brewing both out of San Jose, California. Today’s beer is a kettle sour called Samba Juice. My brother was ranting and raving about this beer the other day, so i thought I’d finally give it a try. That being said…here’s my review.
BREWERY:
Strike Brewing Company and Clandestine Brewing
APV:
5.3%
THE POUR:
Samba Juice, despite having a wheat-heavy base, is particularly transparent. The head forms at three sixteenths of an inch before it quickly settles to all but a few wisps.
THE AROMA:
This beer has more of a fruity smell than a sour one. I can smell pineapple and guava right away. It smells delicious.
THE FLAVOR:
This beer has an amazing flavor. I was expecting it to be more sour, but this was quite a nice surprise. Up front are the mild sour notes followed immediately by the delicious mixture of pineapple and guava. The back end has a quite refreshing finish to it.
THE BODY:
This beer has an easy to drink feel to it. I rate the body of this beer at medium light, but more towards the light.
OVERALL:
Friends, this is a delicious beer! I highly recommend it! This beer did make my tastebuds dance!
Well friends, that’s all the time I have today. I have another important hockey game to spectate. GO SHARKS! Tanks for reading and see you again soon!
