Sour Ale 6.2 º 5 IBU

Black Project Spontaneous & Wild Ales

This Straight Sour Beer presents a sophisticated balance between spontaneous fermentation and thoughtful dry-hopping. A gentle hand of Citra, Mosaic, and Equinox hop varieties provides an aromatic layer of citrus zest and tropical fruit that complements a mild Brettanomyces funk. The palate is defined by a clean, moderate lactic acidity and a core of subtle bready malt. This foundation gives way to complex notes of tart stone fruit, including peach and apricot. The experience is highly effervescent and refreshing, concluding with a crisp, dry finish that emphasizes the bright hop character and wild fermentation depth.

Appearance. Very pale straw to light gold (2–3 SRM). Clarity is clear to slightly hazy with an effervescent character. Pours with a dense white head that may exhibit poor retention due to the beer's acidity.

Aroma. Moderately high intensity with a dominant clean lactic sourness resembling fresh lemon and tart apple. A subtle earthy and leathery Brett character is present. Dry-hop notes of grapefruit, lime, and tropical fruit from the Citra, Mosaic, and Equinox are noticeable but integrated. Background notes of bready and crackery malt.

Taste. Initial impression is a sharp, clean lactic sourness. Soft, bready malt flavors provide a brief mid-palate balance before transitioning into a tart stone fruit finish. Hop flavors of citrus and melon are present but restrained, with undetectable bitterness. The finish is very dry and crisp with lingering acidity and no vinegary notes.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation that creates a spritzy, effervescent sensation. Crisp acidity provides a refreshing bite. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated at 6.2% ABV.
