hopIQ found 10 beers with the same sour and dry character as Brooklyn Bel Air Sour. Bel Air Sour moved into the year-round range at the request of drinkers. It is soured with the brewery's own Lactobacillus strain and then generously dry-hopped with Amarillo, alongside Simcoe. A bright jolt of tartness opens the glass before giving way to tropical fruit, grapefruit and a hint of lime zest from the hops. Pale barley and wheat malt keep the body light and slightly hazy, the acidity stays gentle rather than sharp, and the beer closes crisp and dry. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
