Darft @ Crate Brewery. Rosée, col fin blanc. Arôme offre un bouquet léger rappelant le kettle sour, fruit passion léger en rétro avec de fines effluves aigrelettes. Hibiscus reste assez discret. Palais est léger, sour mash, fruité modéré avec un fruit de la passion qui ajoute son petit côté suret, le tout est un peu farineux et sec sur la fin. Léger avec une effervescence un peu râpeuse amplifiée par l'effet aigrelet mais au final, cet effet farineux demeure plus présent.

Tap. Hazy glowing pink color with small pinkish head. Aroma is lacto, hibiscus, fruity, yes, but not passion fruit for me. Taste is hibiscus, leafy, a bit tropical fruits, but not so much. Bready finish. Fizzy carbonation. Quite leafy, not completely my thing.

Bottleshare at Matteo’s. Thanks to Matteo for the can. Almost clear pale peach colour beer, small peach colour head. Palate is light and fairly dry, decent carbonation. Yogurty fruits and light generic berries. Light dry finish. Yogurty nonsense.

Can at home in London - sourced from Offie & Toffee. Pours mostly clear gold/grapefruit pink with a creamy, receding white head. Pleasant aroma, with nips of lemon, berries, tangerine. Light sweet flavour with balanced but assertive acidity, juicy passionfruit, moderate salty bite, more lemony notes. Light bodied with average, spritzy carbonation. Cleansing and quenching on the finish, with further lemony acidity, moderate acetic burn, more passionfruit, berries, hibiscus, tangerine, nips of white grape. There is charming jammy undertone, but it is quite subtle and the acidity slices it off before it catches. Overall, this is a great ’sour beer’, and massively refreshing.
