Double Sour with Oranges, Tonka Beans, Cocoa Nibs
Orange ‘n Choco tastes like fine chocolate in a glass. Juicy oranges, chocolatey cocoa nibs and tonka beans with soft vanilla-almond notes come together in a smooth, creamy sour – the perfect balance of freshness and decadence.
Orange ‘n Choco is built on a contrast that just works – combining bright acidity with a gently sweet, almost dessert-like character. The base is packed with juicy oranges, bringing citrus freshness and a clear fruit-forward profile. It’s rounded out with cocoa nibs, adding a soft chocolate note, and tonka beans, which lend hints of vanilla, spice and sweet almond. Thanks to these ingredients – and a grain bill that includes oats – the beer gains not only a layered flavour profile, but also a surprisingly creamy texture that smooths out the sourness. Orange ‘n Choco isn’t a pastry sour or a classic fruited kettle sour. It lives somewhere in between – sweet but wild, tart but refined. A beer for those who want more from their sour.
