Second Squeeze

Tap to rate

Sharpness and lip-smacking zesty flavour come with a bold citrusy twist on the classic Hooch taste. Second Squeeze is a supersized, hazy and juicy 6.0% sour, the sequel to Twisting My Lemon Man and SALT's second collaboration with Hooch. Brewed to steal the spotlight at every summer session.

◎ Appearance

A hazy, pale golden pour with a bright, luminous quality that catches the light. The head is modest but persistent, leaving fine lacing as it recedes. High carbonation creates a gentle fizz throughout the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bold citrus notes—lemon zest and grapefruit pith—layered with a tart, slightly funky undertone from the sour culture. Clean, crisp Edelhopfen character supports the fruit without overwhelming, while the haze suggests a touch of yeast-driven complexity.

◐ Taste

Entry is sharp and lip-smacking, with zesty citrus acidity dominating the mid-palate. The body is light and refreshing, carried by bright carbonation and a dry, juicy character that balances the sourness. Bitterness is restrained at 10 IBU, allowing the fruit and tart complexity to shine through without harshness.
