hopIQ found 10 beers with the same funky and sour character as Lief. Lief follows the Belgian lambic tradition: the brewery blends one-, two- and three-year-old spontaneously fermented beers, brewed from California pilsner malt and unmalted wheat and soured only by wild yeast and microbes native to Miramar, then aged in neutral oak. A new blend appears each year. It is deep gold with lively carbonation. The nose shows funk, overripe apricot, orange peel and wood; the palate brings bright acidity, white grape, apricot, herbs, minerality and cedar before a tannic, drying finish. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
