HOPIQ TAKE

Collective Arts Jam Up the Mash if you want bright, hop-forward aromatics cutting through tartness, Destihl Wild Sour Series Fleur if you want a softer, more restrained sour experience. The Collective Arts leans into dry-hop character—you'll catch citrus and resinous notes that feel almost alive on your palate, whereas the Destihl plays it quieter, letting the fermentation funk and subtle fruit do the talking. Both sit at nearly identical ABV and IBU, but the dry-hopping in Jam Up the Mash gives it a noticeably sharper aromatic profile that some find invigorating and others find aggressive depending on mood.

TASTING NOTES

Collective Arts Jam Up the Mash

SourFruityTart

Jam Up the Mash hits you immediately with a dry-hopped punch—think grapefruit zest and crushed pine needles colliding with a clean, bright acidity that doesn't overstay its welcome. The sour backbone is lean and crisp, not funky or wild-fermented feeling; it's more like a tart white wine's snap than farmhouse character. Medium body, crisp finish, and those hops linger on the back of your tongue in a way that feels intentional and controlled, not muddled.

Destihl Wild Sour Series Fleur

TartSourDry

Fleur tastes more introverted—there's a delicate stone-fruit note (apricot?) playing underneath a gently tart base that feels naturally derived rather than aggressively hopped. The wildness is in the subtlety; you pick up soft fermentation notes and a whisper of herbal complexity that unfolds slowly across your palate. It's the kind of sour that makes you want to take another sip to fully understand it, not the kind that smacks you upfront.
