Strahov Cherry Sour Ale

◎ Aussehen

A pale, luminous straw-gold body with exceptional clarity, revealing a fine, delicate structure. The head is modest but present, with gentle carbonation creating a soft effervescence characteristic of this light, refreshing ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant cherry fruit, bright and tart, supported by subtle stone fruit undertones. A touch of subtle tartness from the fermentation process complements the fruit-forward character, with minimal malt or hop presence allowing the cherry juice to dominate.

◐ Geschmack

Crisp, fruit-driven palate with pronounced cherry character providing immediate tartness and refreshment. The body remains smooth and light, the acidity well-integrated, with minimal bitterness (10 IBU) allowing the natural fruit acid to provide structure and balance without harshness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and refreshing, with lingering cherry tartness that clears cleanly from the palate. A brief, pleasant fruit-acid aftertaste leaves a crisp, summery impression without any cloying sweetness.
