Nysa

Portugal·Fruited Smoothie Sour
Tap to rate

Nysa is an Ice Cream Smoothie: pineapple, guava, raspberry and blueberry collide in a lush, vibrant wave of tropical sweetness, wrapped in the soft embrace of vanilla ice cream. Thick, juicy and indulgent at 5%, it blurs the line between fruit and fantasy. Extra pale malt and wheat form the base, BRY-97 yeast and Sour Pitch handle the fermentation. Vegan.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant tropical fruit—pineapple and guava lead, followed by softer notes of raspberry and blueberry. Beneath the fruit emerges a creamy vanilla character that rounds the profile without dominating. The aromatic presentation is clean and inviting, with no harsh fermentation notes—evidence of balanced yeast and souring microorganism work.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers a juicy, full-bodied sweetness that feels indulgent despite the modest 5% ABV. Tropical stone fruit flavors dominate the entry and mid-palate, where vanilla ice cream notes provide a luxurious backdrop. Acidity from the souring culture is restrained and integrated, allowing fruit and vanilla to remain in the foreground with only minimal hop bitterness (10 IBU) to frame the finish.
