Black Currant Sour Ale

◎ Appearance

A striking deep violet hue fills the glass, speaking to the intensity of blackcurrant fruit used in fermentation. The pink head sits delicate and ephemeral, with modest retention and fine carbonation creating a soft visual texture throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with a gently sour blackcurrant character, supported by a whisper of bright lemon zest. The fermentation from top yeast and Lactobacillus cultures adds subtle complexity without overwhelming the restrained fruit expression.

◐ Taste

Light and refreshing on entry, the palate develops a clean, well-integrated sourness that frames a distinct blackcurrant line running through the center. Bitterness remains barely perceptible at 5 IBU, allowing the tart fruit and lactic character to dominate while maintaining balance and drinkability.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and clean, with the sourness lingering gently on the palate. A fading echo of berry fruit and subtle tartness creates a refreshing, sessionable aftertaste.
