Sofa Sour: Strawberry Cherry

Tap to rate

A tart but delicate fruited sour, pouring coral pink and hazy under a white head. The nose carries plenty of fruit, tart cherry ahead of a sweeter berry note. Ripe strawberry and sour cherry then share the palate, the two pulling in opposite directions and meeting in the middle. It drinks light and stays nicely tart without turning puckering, and the finish is clean and short.
