Tart

Tap to rate

Enticing aromas of ripe peach and passionfruit lead to a light, crisp body with an incredibly refreshing hit of lemon sherbet. This 6% dry-hopped edition returns to the roots of the Tart sour series: kettle-soured and elevated with a generous dose of Australian Galaxy hops, fantastically invigorating.

◌ Aroma

Inviting stone fruit and tropical character dominates the nose, with distinct notes of ripe peach and passionfruit leading the way. Galaxy hops contribute herbal and slightly peppery undertones that elevate the fruity foundation. A subtle tartness underpins the aromatic profile, hinting at the kettle-souring process without overwhelming the delicate balance.

◐ Taste

The palate opens bright and refreshing with a pronounced lemon sherbet character that dominates the mid-palate. Acidity is clean and well-integrated, delivering a crisp, thirst-quenching sensation without harshness. Bitterness remains restrained at 10 IBU, allowing the hop character and sour notes to interplay freely rather than dominate.
