Riley's Vixen Dark Wheat Ale

This 6.0% ABV dark wheat ale is from Riley's Brewing Company of Madera, California. Their labels feature semi-realistic, yet cartoonish versions of highly sexed women. The labeling makes me think gimmick, so their beer better be pretty solid to overcome the labeling. As of this post, their website is incomplete, so I don't know what their version of their story is yet. 

The beer pours a very dark brown mahogany, almost black, ruby when held to the light. There is a fizzy head of light brown foam that disappears quite rapidly. The aroma is dark roasted malt, with a metallic tang. The taste is dark roasted malt, smokey, coffee, dark chocolate, but with a terrible sour note. Take out the sour note, and this would be a very good beer. Better luck next time Riley's, because as is, this is a drain pour. 

I have tried three of their beers now, the IPA was decent, but this and Sancha were sour crap. Verdict? Gimmick, they are trying to sell a label right now, and not yet trying to sell beer.
