Sketchbook is the latest in our small batch sour series and it has received the absolute mightiest of lupulin powder treatments by using @yakimachief Cryo-Pop blend exclusively!
Cryo-Pop is an experimental hop blend from the geniuses at Yakima Chief Hops that showcases hops selected for their potency and ability to drive aroma and flavor. Soured with our house strain and fermented on an ultra clean American Ale yeast, the mango, pineapple, peach and coconut flavours you get are all from the healthy 12 g/L dry hop. Wrap that all up with just the slightlest sweet finish to balance the tart and dare we say its our best sour yet!

Can. Hazy and pale. Deep, almost overripe stone fruit aroma, with an acidic accent that's borderline acetic. Fruity, again that rich acetic/lactic sourness, low bitterness but the hops are more hoppy and less fruity than on the nose. Some tomato in there, which is probably less than ideal. Not bad, the hop is certainly nice, but hmmm the acidity...this one requires pondering.
