🌍 Canada · Dry-Hopped Sour · One of 2 Dry-Hopped Sours in hopIQ

A dry-hopped sour that sets bright acidity against tropical hop aroma. Lemon zest leads, followed by passionfruit, pineapple and white peach, and the pour is only lightly hazy. The acidity is sharp but not puckering, and the hops add fruit without bitterness, so the beer stays crisp and quick rather than heavy. The finish is snappy and dry.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Shift

Appearance

Pale straw to pale gold in the glass, with only a light haze that speaks to a delicate balance between clarity and the beer's dry-hopped sour character. The head is modest but stable, laying down fine Schaumkleiden as you drink. Carbonation is lively and evident, contributing to the beer's overall snappy presentation.

Aroma

The nose opens with bright lemon zest and white peach, immediately anchored by the sharp, almost saline edge of the sour. Tropical hop aromatics follow—passionfruit and pineapple—adding layered fruit without any herbal or resinous character. The Edelhopfen presence is fruit-forward and clean, with no oxidation or dull notes.

Taste

Sharp acidity arrives on the palate first, cutting through cleanly without puckering or astringency. The mid-palate is where tropical stone fruit and citrus truly land—passionfruit, pineapple, and peach meld with the sour backbone—while dry-hopped bitterness remains subtle and fruit-focused, never harsh. The body stays light and crisp, allowing the acid and fruit to define every moment.

Finish

The finish is snappy and dry, with the acidity lingering just long enough to frame the aftertaste without overstaying. A faint white peach note fades into a clean, refreshing dryness.
