A thirst quenching session beer, Sour Suzy mimics a classic German brewing technique (sour mashing) to impart a light, refreshing tartness. No hop bitterness and very low hop profile, Sour Suzy is not your typical session beer - rather it delivers something a bit more obscure and intriguing. It drinks as refreshingly as a glass of lemonade. The grain bill includes a healthy portion of wheat, while citrusy hops lend bright notes to the aroma, which is accentuated by the addition of Makrut lime leaves.

Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma of wheat, yeast, lacto and flowers. Pours cloudy deep golden color with totally diminishing white head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts light sweet and sour grainy, following is citrusy, lactic and malty, while mouthfeel is crisp and dry without any mentionable finish. Light body, thin texture and lively carbonation in palate. Boring Suzy...

Süffiger, wenig säuerlicher Beginn mit leicht erhöhter Karbonisierung. Kein Hopfen, nur geringfügig herb, wässrig. Spritzig, helle getreide, auch dieses nahe der Wässrigkeit. Noch okay. 6/8/10/8/9/8

0.33l bottle thanks to Lore. Slightly murky yellow body with practically no head. Aroma of white wine and lemon juice with cellar notes and some yeast. Taste of grains, white wine, lemon juice and some green apples. Quite straightforward, but refreshing beer.

opalescent, very pale yellow colour, minimal white head, which disappears promptly; aroma of acidic white wine, wine cellary-basement-like yeasty-earthy notes, lemon juice, hint of acetone and some grains; taste is dominated by citric sourness with some sour green apple and acidic white wine notes, as well as some bread; refreshing one

Can from Appellation Wines Comely Bank. Appearance - pale golden with steady bubbles and a nicely proportioned head. Nose - light cardboard, yeast and some citrus. Taste - lemon and dry tangy yeast. Palate - light bodied, long lean and tangy. Overall - the taste was a big improvement on the nose.

Bottle, 0.33l. Hazy yellow pour, one finger soapy off-white head. Short lasting, low retention. No lacing. Not so fresh on the nose, grains, wet stale grass, notes of lime. Thin body, medium carbonation. Texture is ok with some thickness to it, pleasant mouthfeel actually. Fruity sour tart taste and aroma. Lemon tart, lime, wheat, grains, wet hay. Not bad, but has this all-around bland emptiness. Finish is practically nonexistent, lingering radler-like sugary sweetness is all that remains. Overall, quite mediocre. Drinkable, yes, but not something I'd go back to.
