Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Razzmatazz Sour

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a subtle haze from wild yeast and bacteria, characteristic of the style. The carbonation is moderate, with a thin white head that disperses quickly. Clarity suggests a living fermentation, adding visual interest without cloudiness.

pale straw yellowslightly hazymoderate carbonation

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright citrus—lemon and orange peel—with a clean, wild fermentation character underneath. There is no aggressive vinegar or Brettanomyces funk; instead, a gentle tartness mingles with subtle stone fruit notes. The overall impression is fresh and approachable, without funky or vinous alcohol burn.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with immediate citric acidity and a pronounced sourness that develops across the middle of the mouth. Despite the 4% ABV, the body is substantial and balanced, with enough structure to carry the tart flavors rather than feeling thin. The finish leans dry and lemony, with a crisp, refreshing quality that lingers without harshness.
