Sunshine

Tap to rate

Peach, pineapple and passion fruit give this Sour Fruited Ale its tropical character, rounded off with lactose. The brewers modelled it on Future Sunshine from Pressure Drop Brewing, which they tasted in England, and made it a stronger one at 15° Stammwürze, using fruit purée, Citra hops, wheat, oats and sour malt.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft tropical fruit compote and stone fruit sweetness from the purée base, quickly joined by gentle tartness and lactic acidity. Creamy mouthfeel from oats and lactose rounds the edges, while wheat and sour malt contribute a subtle dryness. Bitterness remains restrained at 15 IBU, allowing fruit and tartness to lead throughout.
