Sour Passion Fruit 12

Tap to rate

Sharp, tropical passion fruit meets a pronounced lactic sourness for a punchy, fruity profile in both aroma and flavour. It is the brewery's first sour: the wort is soured with lactobacilli in the kettle, boiled again to stop them, fermented with ordinary brewer's yeast and finally infused with passion fruit purée. Galaxy is the hop.

◐ Taste

Sharp and punchy on entry, with tart passion fruit flavor meeting a crisp lactic acidity that dominates the palate. The mid-palate maintains bright tropical intensity, while the minimal bitterness (5 IBU) allows the fruit and sourness to remain front and center. A dry, clean character emerges toward the finish, with no residual sweetness.
