From the brewer

According to Lauren, the imaginator of this pucker-pleasing ale, Lychee fruit is so insanely sweet and flavorful you almost can’t stand it alone. Sour to the rescue! The combination of our barrel-aged sour beer, Lychee fruit puree, and cinnamon sticks pours a frothy head of tart perfection.

Who's been drinking this

Tart, clean, pretty good but absolutely tasted nothing like lychee.
First taste is a strong hit of lychee, followed by an unusual, brief top of tongue tartness. That lychee quality fades really quickly into a generic fruitiness, and the sour all but dissipates into a kind of wheaty funk. The finish is tart again (but in the back of the throat), with some cereal.
