Fruited Sour·United States·5% ABV·One of 116 Fruited Sours in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Carnie Blood's fruity and juicy character. Juicy, sweet-tart and fruity with a slightly spicy kick: a margarita-inspired golden sour made with red prickly pear, calamansi lime and jalapeños, 5.0% ABV. The idea came from the beer team at the Fort Collins Liquid Center in 2024, and the beer became the marquee release of Tour de Fat, the brewery's annual costumed bike festival. A limited release.
