Aunt Sally

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a delicate white head that settles quickly. The carbonation is moderate and persistent, creating fine bubbles that rise steadily. The beer catches light with a bright, luminous quality characteristic of its low color intensity.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus and stone fruit notes layered over subtle herbal and floral hop character from dry-hopping. Beneath lies a gentle tartness and lactic undertone that signals the sour character without dominating. A faint candy-like sweetness emerges on the back of the nose, reminiscent of cherry or strawberry confection.

◐ Taste

Entry is immediately tart and fruity—like biting into a sour candy—with a crisp lactic sourness that coats the palate without harshness. Mid-palate develops dark fruit notes and a smooth hoppy dryness that balances the acidity. The beer maintains a pleasant funky undertone from the Lactobacillus fermentation, adding complexity while remaining approachable at moderate bitterness.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with tartness fading gradually into a pleasant hoppy aftertaste. The sourness remains present but refined, leaving the palate clean and slightly stimulated.
