Nice, but still don’t get the point of the style. Like a Berliner, but hoppy.

Tap at Molto. Nara Brewing Sour Sonic 4.5% IBU 19 Very pale opaque straw gold with a wispy bright white head. It hasa tart eggy and lightly hoppy aroma. The beer is light bodied dry and acidic. The taste is lactic acid, some lemon and restrained toejam. Quite a solid kettle sour.

Hazy gold with a low head. Lovely nose of white grapes, lemon, light grapefruit, lactic acid. Nicely tart, with the NS hops blending magnificently with the lactic acid from the kettle souring. A bit simple overall, but shows off the hops nicely, and a very good level of souring, beyond what most brewers try in their first attempt. Like it a lot.

light golden color. Slightly hazy with little head. Modestly sour nose that shows apple juice, honey and mangoes with a touch of bandaid. Light body, much more tart than expected. Medium carbonation with apple juice and honey. Good but doesn’t have amazing depth.
