Suckerpunch

Tap to rate

Suckerpunch is a fruited sour with the character of a fruit salad, on Unity's list since late 2025. The acidity is pronounced and tart, and on the fruit side peach stands out. At 5.2% it is stronger than both of the brewery's house pale ales. Most of it goes out on draught, to the taproom and to pubs, and it is also filled into cans.

◌ Aroma

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and immediately tart, with pronounced acidity that defines the palate experience. Peach flavors develop through the mid-palate alongside a broader fruit-salad impression, creating a complex sweetness that balances the bite. Bitterness is restrained at 10 IBU, allowing acidity rather than hop character to drive the finish.

The finish is snappy and refreshing, with lingering acidity that persists cleanly on the palate. No harsh astringency remains, only a bright, thirst-quenching aftertaste.
