Three Taverns La Madrina

Tap to rate

Three Taverns' guava-currant-and-sea-salt sour — 5.0% ABV, tropical guava plus black-currant tartness with a whisper of salt. Where Enchantress is red-berry-tart and Lord Grey is herbal-tea, La Madrina is the tropical-plus-savory axis. Named for the godmother — the sour with the widest flavor palette in the Three Taverns sour quartet.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Three Taverns La Madrina

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a delicate, persistent white head. The beer presents a bright, translucent quality typical of kettle sours, with fine carbonation that sustains a thin collar of lacing around the glass.

◌ Aroma

Tropical guava and stone fruit lead the nose, with distinct black-currant tartness underneath. A subtle minerality—the sea-salt character—adds savory complexity without dominating, creating a fragrant balance between fruit sweetness and briny restraint.

◐ Taste

Tart and refreshing on entry, with layered tropical fruit and peach notes that unfold across the mid-palate. The acidity is clean and well-integrated, while the salt component adds a drying, savory undertone that prevents the beer from becoming one-dimensional. Soft wheat maltiness provides gentle structure without heaviness.

◑ Finish

Crisp and dry, with lingering currant tartness and a whisper of saline minerality. The finish is light and clean, inviting another sip rather than leaving residual sweetness.
