We Are Who We Pretend To Be from Beachwood Brewing in Long Beach, California is a Gueuze-inspired spontaneous sour ale that channels the storied lambic tradition through a distinctly Southern Californian lens. It pours a hazy, pale golden straw with a fine, evanescent head. The aroma is immediately captivating — tart green apple, lemon rind, horse blanket funk, and a whisper of oak. On the palate, assertive acidity drives flavors of wild cherry, fresh hay, and aged citrus peel, underpinned by a pleasingly dry, bready complexity. The mouthfeel is light and effervescent. The finish is long, clean, and bracingly dry with a lingering tartness that rewards contemplation. A confident, artfully crafted wild ale.
