Southern Grist Melted Sno Cone

Southern Grist Brewing Company out of Nashville, TN is quickly becoming one of my favorite breweries. Just go to there website and check out the inventive/creative ways that these folks are making beer and they may become yours as well. This smoothie style sour ale brewed with lactose, strawberry, banana, vanilla and marshmallows is desert in a glass. So incredibly thick and dense as it pours into the glass that you stop thinking beer and start thinking pudding. Huge sweet, desert like aromas waft up to say hello to your nose and the flavor…Wow. The banana is very prominent in the profile. Closer to banana pudding than strawberry banana shortcake, but that is fine. Think of something between banana pudding (you know the one with the Vanilla wafers in it) and a banana daiquiri. Very thick, very smooth and very creamy mouthfeel. Forget your desert and just drink this. Crazy good.
