A Unique Dry-Hopped Sweet Tart Sour Mash Ale. We soured the wort on the Hot Side with Lactobacillus for a few days and then brewed up this smooth and hoppy sour. It tastes like a big bowl of fruity candy or some chewable flavored vitamins, but what's the difference? It's sweet, tart, and sassy, just like the tasty cherry pie that your favorite aunt makes. For all the Aunt Sally's out there, You know who you are...

Bottle. If you like a hoppy, sour ale you might like this one. I didn't care for it.

Tap @ Haandverkeren. Hazy orange golden body with a lacing, creamy white head. Aromais citric fruity, mild acidic, slightly minerals and just a faint hint of yogurt. Flavor is nice and citric fruity refreshing, slightly acidic and a mineral touch. Medium body and nice aftertaste in the same direction. Nothing complex really, but a well made slightly extra fruity Berliner weisse kind of beer without fruit juice and almost no yogurt. And that's a really positive thing as too many beers in this style have to much of both. Well made, fine balanced and very refreshing.

That's a super spring, hoppy and flowery. It's a little strong but it's really worth it.

Bottled (Rådhuskällaren, Umeå). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is mildly lactic with some floral and mild wooden notes as well as a mild spicy/herbal touch to it. Flavour is very similar with the hoppy bitterness and herbal tones as well as some mild tartness staying in the finish. Almost on the verge to being watery.

(Bottle) Amber colour with foamy, off-white head. Fruity nose with notes of green apples, unripe pineapple, flowers, peaches and orange. Fruity, slightly tart taste with pineapples, green apples, hay, flowers, citrus, apricots, white bread and a fairly low bitterness. Medium body, dry. Tasty and refreshing, with a subtle, but distinct, tartness. Nice one.

On tap at Håndverkeren. A small white head sits on top of an unclear orange colored body. The aroma has orange, citrus zest, some pine cones and a lemony sourish touch. Full body and a nice carbonation level. The flavor is mostly on the fruity side, with the bready maltyness kept at a minimum. Orange, lemon juice, pine cones and a generic fruity touch in the flavor. Not much lactic acid detected, it’s just a plain dry, tart and fruity beer that is really refreshing. 181115

Pours a hazy gold with a white head. Aroma of crisp hops. Taste is resinous with a tart citrus taste on the nose. Palate includes lemongrass and hops. Excellent beer, extremely well blended and the sour really balances the whole thing out.
