In pursuit of flavor, a generous amount of pineapple was used to celebrate this style!

330ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Nov 23. Pours amber, large off-white head. Distinct, vibrant pineapple juice aroma. Flavour profile brings a surprisingly fleshy sweet pineapple presence.. with a good sharp clarity from a measured sourness. Really nice.

Monday 27th November 2023, Monthly gathering in Chez Sophie. 33cl bottle from Mat (I think). Light haze in the golden/amber body, off-white head that tried to hang around. Pineapples rule the roost in this one, not too sure there was much sourness in this to be honest.

7/I/23 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home, BB: X/2023, L041/21 (2023-53)
Slightly cloudy orange beer, small aery irregular white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots of pineapple juice, pineapple candy, ripe pineapple. MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty sourish start, watery, fruity notes, acidic, lots of pineapple indeed, a bit lemony. Aftertaste: fruity, more pineapple, a little bitter, acidic, nice stuff, very refreshing.

Atrium has long been showing off its connection with Brazil (the brewer’s wife is Brazilian) and with success, coincidentally in a time when Brazilian craft beer is gaining more and more ground in the U.S. and Western Europe. This is a tribute to that new Brazilian craft beer scene: a Catharina sour with pineapple. Egg-white, moussy but unstable and open, eventually dissolving head on a misty peach blonde beer with yellow-ochre glow. Aroma of indeed a lot of unripe pineapple but also very cider-like, sweet Strongbow cider, Granny Smith apple, ripe Doyenné pear, cherimoya, hints of honey, green plum, pear-scented hand soap or even shampoo, tropical flowers. Sweet and sour onset, freshly cut pineapple adding both sugars and tartness but also evoking a lot of ‘side’ fruitiness, mostly (green) apple but also pear and strawberry; very active carbonation, slick and rounded mouthfeel, feeling a bit thinner than the ABV would suggest, perhaps. Wheaty-cereally core, completely surrounded by pineapple tartness and sweetness, turning quite soapy in the end, with that cider association remaining very strong (both sweet industrial cider and tart artisanal cider!). Ends a bit vinous, remaining very fruity and soapy, with exotic highlights of not just the pineapple but tropical orchids and starfruit as well. Possibly the first successful Catharina sour in Belgium, not missing its effect of evoking sun, tropical sultriness and exotic fruitiness – it almost feels as if it could not possibly have been made in Belgium… Not really my personal cup of tea, and I remain wondering if that soapiness could not have been toned down, but I must admit that this is a very interesting, innovative brew even to Atrium standards.

Bouteille 33cl, BB 10/2023, lot# L041/21.
Dorée claire, col fin crémeux blanc cassé.
Arôme donne de suite des effluves marquées par l'ananas - c'est plaisant et bien fruité avec en rétro des notes un peu plus 'pungent' - kettle sour. Le fruité d'ananas revient à la charge en retrait avec ce nez caractéristique oscillant entre doux et aigre.
Au palais, un Catarina Sour qui oscille sur la Berliner tout en apportant le petit plus avec l'usage de fruits tropicaux. J'espère pour Atrium qu'ils ont utilisé des ananas brésiliens ? Ici, rien qu'avec l'abv, on est déjà plus sur une version impériale.
