Brooklyn Bel Air Sour

◎ Aussehen

A pale, luminous straw color with a slight haze from suspended wheat and barley proteins. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is lively and visible, lending the beer a bright, appetizing presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a crisp, lemony tartness from the Lactobacillus fermentation, followed by distinct tropical fruit notes—pineapple and passionfruit—layered with grapefruit zest. The Amarillo and Simcoe hops contribute a subtle herbal complexity without overshadowing the primary fruit and acid character.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is marked by a clean, gentle tartness that coats the palate without sharp edges. The mid-palate develops tropical stone fruit and grapefruit flavors, underpinned by the light, slightly grainy body of pale malt and wheat. Bitterness remains restrained at 14 IBU, allowing acidity and fruit to dominate.

◑ Abgang

The beer closes with a crisp, dry aftertaste that lingers briefly with lime zest and a subtle malt sweetness. Acidity fades cleanly, leaving the palate refreshed and wanting another sip.
