🌍 Australia · Sour Ale · One of 30 Sour Ales in hopIQ

A lightly soured ale brewed at 2.7 percent for refreshment rather than depth. The lactic pitch gives a clean lemon and lime tang with a trace of yoghurt sourness underneath, and the acidity stays bright instead of sharp. Hopping is sparing, so almost nothing bitter comes through and the pale malt sits quietly behind the acid. The body is thin, the carbonation lively, and the finish quick and dry.

pale goldenbright claritylively carbonationfine lacing

Aroma

The nose leads with clean lemon and lime citrus notes, underpinned by a subtle yoghurt sourness that suggests the lactic fermentation. Pale Malz sits quietly in the background without asserting grain character, while Edelhopfen presence is restrained and adds no aromatic spice. The overall impression is crisp and refreshing rather than complex.

Taste

The palate opens with bright citrus acidity and a clean sour backbone that remains tart without turning sharp or vinegary. Pale Malz provides only a whisper of sweet foundation, allowing the lactic tang to dominate while bitterness stays nearly absent at just 6 IBU. The body is thin and crisp, finishing with a quick, dry character that invites the next sip.

Finish

The finish is quick and thoroughly dry, with the lactic sourness lingering briefly before fading cleanly. No cloying sweetness or lingering bitterness remains—just the memory of citrus tang and crispness.
