Hurricane Katrina

Tap to rate

A Catharina sour in which pineapple and mango dominate and a splash of lime juice finishes the taste. The brewery builds it on acidulated, wheat and pilsner malts and uses a single hop, Žatec semi-early red. The brewery's shop lists it as a Catharina Sour and files it in the main beer range under the title Sour Catrina.

◐ Taste

Pineapple and mango flavors dominate the palate with bright, clean acidity that drives the tasting experience. Lime juice accent sharpens the finish; the wheat malt foundation is present but restrained. Bitterness remains minimal, allowing the fruit-acid interplay to remain center stage.
