27 April 2019. At Zythos Bierfestival. Deputy Taster: Anke. Cheers to Ama Deke, Erwin, John & Meeki!
Clear golden, lasting, small, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of apple, white grapes, sourdough, soap, lactic acid, yoghurt, lemon. Taste is medium fruity sweet, lots of unripe apple & apricot, lemony & lactic accents wrapped up in a yeasty & sourdough-like character; bready malts mingle with bitter tones of white grape & fruit rinds. Dry, tart, earthy hoppy finish, lingering wood, lactic acid & yellow fruit. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Surprisingly well-made Sour Ale, components connecting elegantly.
