Beers similar to Brooklyn Bel Air Sour

Brooklyn Brewery

Dry-Hopped Sour·United States·5.8% ABV·One of 10 Dry-Hopped Sours in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Brooklyn Bel Air Sour's tart and sour character. 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.
