Having this Texas sour provided by my son-in-law Ryan. Him, my daughter, and me are going to share this Martin House experience.
Strong aroma from opening the can of bananas but not much strawberry. Medium yellow as it pours into the glass and then a hint of pink develops. From the glass the aroma definitely has strawberry with the banana. Of course that first sip has a tartness to get acclimated to. After that the fruity flavor of both strawberry and banana is very good. It's drinkable and light and refreshing ... And dangerous! Nowhere, I mean nowhere, is there any alcohol. Even after 3, 4, 6 sips, no alcohol. Hiding 12% isn't easy but they've done it. I also never picked up on the oak flavor that should be the result of being aged on oak spirals.
I'm not a big fan of sours. This is definitely sour but not in an offensive way. More like the way grapefruit juice hits you. I actually like this and would not hesitate to have another. Except for that 12% which is hiding somewhere.
