🌍 United States · Belgian Sour · One of 5 Belgian Sours in hopIQ

Coolship Chaos 2017 is a spontaneously fermented sour ale from Beachwood Brewing, the celebrated Long Beach, California craft institution. This Southern Californian take on old-world lambic tradition pours a hazy golden amber with a wispy, evanescent head. The aroma is immediately captivating — layers of tart citrus peel, barnyard funk, wild yeast, and a whisper of oak drift from the glass. On the palate, bright acidity drives waves of green apple, lemon zest, and earthy brett character, balanced by a subtle vinous depth that speaks to patient coolship fermentation. The finish is dry, long, and pleasantly astringent, with lingering funk and fruit. A genuine expression of spontaneous fermentation rooted firmly in California sunshine.
