🌍 United States · Fruited Sour Ale · One of 3 Fruited Sour Ales in hopIQ

Bird of Paradise is a rotating fruited sour ale from Cerebral Brewing, based in Denver, Colorado. Part of an ever-changing series, each batch showcases a different seasonal fruit combination, making every release a distinct experience. The beer pours a vivid, hazy hue that shifts with each iteration — ranging from blush pink to deep amber depending on the fruit selection. On the nose, bright, fresh fruit aromas mingle with lactic tartness and a gentle funkiness. The palate delivers a juicy, mouth-puckering acidity balanced by natural fruit sweetness, while the body remains approachably light and refreshing. The finish is clean and tart, leaving a pleasant, fruity zest that invites the next sip.
