Pécsi Premium Sour-Cherry

Tap to rate

A deep red filtered beer that delivers the intense, rich flavour of sour cherries in a delicately balanced pale ale character. The sweet and sour fruit notes blend harmoniously with a slightly malty base, creating a composition that moves between freshness and fullness without tipping into either extreme. The sour cherry register sits front and centre, bright against the beer's understated grain foundation—a fruit beer that tastes like fruit first, beer second. At 4 per cent alcohol, it arrives as a refreshing aperitif with enough complexity to hold attention beyond the first pour. Serve chilled to sharpen the fruit's edge.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Pécsi Premium Sour-Cherry

◎ Appearance

A deep red filtered beer with bright clarity and a luminous quality that speaks to careful brewing technique. The head forms a modest, stable collar with fine carbonation visible throughout the body. Light catches the glass with an amber-tinged warmth typical of fruit beers with natural color from cherry additions.

◌ Aroma

Sour cherry dominates the nose with an immediate, bright intensity—tart stone fruit forward without artificiality. Beneath lies a soft, slightly grainy malted character that grounds the composition without asserting itself. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, suggesting both orchard and cellar.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced sour-cherry acidity that sits front and centre, cutting cleanly across a lightly malty foundation. Sweet and tart notes move in balance, neither overwhelming; the mid-palate reveals a smooth, full character for its alcohol level, with cherry flesh and slight tannic structure from the fruit. Bitterness is minimal, allowing the fruit-forward profile to dominate without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and medium in length, with cherry tartness lingering pleasantly on the palate without becoming cloying. A subtle drying sensation from the fruit adds structure to the aftertaste.
