Kamenický Sour Malina 12°

◎ Appearance

Pale straw-gold hue with excellent clarity and a bright, effervescent quality. The head is modest but persistent, leaving fine lacing on the glass as you drink. Carbonation is crisp and visible, appropriate to the style's refreshing character.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by tart raspberry, with a subtle floral note from the Cascade hops providing herbal balance. Beneath lies a clean, pale malt foundation with a hint of lactic sharpness characteristic of Philly Sour fermentation. No heavy esters or phenolics; the yeast remains restrained.

◐ Taste

Entry is immediately sour and berry-forward, with raspberry providing both tartness and subtle stone-fruit sweetness. Mid-palate is crisp and dry, supported by light pale malt that prevents the acidity from becoming astringent. Bitterness is minimal at 10 IBU, allowing the fruit and sour character to dominate throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering tartness that fades quickly without any harsh edge. Aftertaste remains fruity and dry, inviting another sip.
