Sour Ale 6.5 º

Amundsen Bryggeri

This Wild Specialty Beer is a lush, tropical excursion defined by a vibrant pastry sour profile. Highlighting a dense blend of Pineapple, Passionfruit, and Mango, it delivers an explosion of sun-ripened fruit character that elegantly carries its 6.5% ABV. The presence of fruit pure creates a velvety, smoothie-like texture typical of modern indulgent ales. Sharp lactic acidity provides a necessary counterpoint to the decadent sweetness, while the exotic fruit trio drives a lingering, juicy finish. It is an intense, sensory-forward experience that prioritizes fruit saturation and a rich, creamy mouthfeel, resulting in a complex dessert-like profile that remains bright and refreshing.

Appearance. SRM 5-7; Deep golden to vibrant orange, highly opaque and smoothie-like. Pours with a thick, frothy, soft-yellow head that dissipates quickly to a thin collar, leaving minimal lacing.

Aroma. High intensity; immediate and powerful notes of freshly sliced Pineapple and tart Passionfruit. Ripe Mango provides a sweet, fleshy backing. A clean, lemony lactic tartness is present, alongside a subtle creamy sweetness reminiscent of vanilla or marshmallow.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of acidic fruit followed by significant residual sweetness. Dominant flavors of tropical Pineapple and tangy Passionfruit lead, with the Mango adding a succulent, rounded mid-palate. The acidity is moderate-high but balanced by a pastry-like sweetness. The finish is long and fruity with a clean, tart snap. No perceptible hop bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body; significantly more viscous than a traditional sour ale. Moderate carbonation provides enough lift to keep the sugars from being cloying. Noticeable creaminess on the tongue with no astringency or alcohol warmth.
