Brasserie Flore Ras Dashan
Sour Ale 4.4 º
Brasserie Flore Ras Dashan is a refreshing Straight Sour Beer that elegantly integrates light-roasted Ethiopian coffee from Café Yeah. This unconventional pairing avoids traditional roasted bitterness, instead highlighting the coffee’s intrinsic fruitiness. The profile is defined by a sharp, clean lactic sourness reminiscent of fresh lemon and green apple, which effortlessly bridges to the floral and berry-like nuances of the specialty coffee. A lean, crackery malt base provides a subtle foundation, allowing the bright acidity to lead. The result is a vibrant, effervescent experience where the delicate acidity of the roast complements the beer’s tartness, finishing crisp, dry, and exceptionally clean.
Appearance. Very pale straw to light yellow. Clarity ranges from clear to slightly hazy. Features a dense white head with poor retention and high effervescence.
Aroma. High intensity of clean lactic sourness, presenting as lemon and tart apple. The Ethiopian coffee adds a distinct layer of floral jasmine and bright berry-like fruitiness. Minimal crackery malt character is present; no hop aroma or fermentation funk.
Taste. Dominant, clean lactic acidity with a sharp citrus edge. The coffee flavors contribute a moderate pale fruit character, featuring notes of apricot and citrus rather than roast. Hop bitterness is undetectable, balanced by a lean, bready malt backbone. Finishes very dry and crisp with a lingering tartness.
Mouthfeel. Light body with a crisp, refreshing quality. High carbonation provides a lively prickle on the tongue. No alcohol warmth or astringency from the coffee roast is perceived.
