Sofa Sour: Apricot Mango

◎ Aussehen

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, delicate head. The carbonation is lively but restrained, creating a soft effervescence that dissipates cleanly. The overall presentation is bright and inviting, befitting a session-strength fruited sour.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with peach candy—a tart, confectionery character that dominates immediately. Apricot and mango sit in the mid-ground, providing a tropical dimension without overwhelming the fruit-forward expression. The acidity is clean and present but never harsh, creating a refreshing, candy-like sweetness.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens light and crisp, with fresh stone fruit and mango delivering genuine fruit character rather than syrupy confection. Acidity runs clean and mild, providing structure without puckering intensity. Hop bitterness plays no role; instead, the beer drinks smoothly and refreshingly across the mid-palate.

◑ Abgang

The finish is short and dry, with the tropical fruit notes fading cleanly into a light, refreshing aftertaste. No lingering sweetness or astringency mars the experience.
