Sour 'N Sweet

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, delicate white head that settles to a thin collar with modest lacing. The beer shows bright, clean carbonation throughout, typical of a well-conditioned fruited sour. Light catches the liquid cleanly, suggesting a dry, refreshing character from the visual alone.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright red fruit notes—raspberry and strawberry dominate, with secondary hints of tart cherry and currant layering beneath. A subtle tartness lifts the fruit without sharpness, while soft, creamy undertones suggest careful fermentation. No aggressive hop character; instead, a clean, slightly floral backdrop allows the fruit to speak.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and welcoming, with a full mouthfeel that carries red-fruit sweetness across the mid-palate before a clean sour note arrives with precision. The tartness is brisk but not aggressive, balanced against the creamy texture that prevents sharpness. Bitterness is minimal (10 IBU), allowing fruit and acidity to carry the composition; a dry edge emerges in the latter half.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with the sour note holding gently into the aftertaste without lingering harshness. A light dryness follows, leaving the palate crisp and ready for the next sip.
