Sometimes we brew to showcase something specific, to let something really shine. And, that’s what we did with this flavored beer. We made a puckering sour beer and then added Pear. So much Pear. Pear!
We’ve done a lot of sour beer here at Dugges. We’ve done some many taste variants with fruit and spices that we’ve lost count. And, we’ve played around with malt bills, yeasts, levels of alcohol and acidity to the point that we almost though we’d tried everything.
One thing we hadn’t done though, weirdly enough, was to focus on one single fruit; to methodically go through fruit by fruit to see how they work and would taste in a sour beer. So, that’s how this new single fruit series started. Pear is the first fruit out but there’ll be many more. Cheers!

Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: dark copper color with a one finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: white pears, subtle grassy hops, sweet earthy tones, light hay, and some funky to sour character
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas to a funky sour to sweet toned quality; finishes funky and sour with some light pear notes
Texture: light to medium bodied, good as a sipper, some sour harshness but also a funky sort of smoothness
Overall: isn't this supposed to be a sour ale? Seems like it needs it's sour level kicked in gear a bit, I mean this isn't a bad beer but just needs that extra kick to get it moving.

Bottle. A- Perfume, mild pear. A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head. T- Floral, gummy bears, tart, slightly perfumey. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, tangy finish. O- Not on par with some of Dugges other sours. Pear was not near as strong as it should have been. Okay.

Side by side with the Vault City Pear Drop. Two completely different beers. This is lovely tart clean fresh fruit. Drops off very quickly.
