Brekeriet

This sessionable Straight Sour Beer offers a sophisticated sensory profile defined by fifteen months of oak aging and a delicate dry-hop addition of Hallertauer Blanc. The nose is greeted by a sharp, clean lactic acidity layered with elegant notes of white grape, elderflower, and lemongrass. On the palate, a bright, lemony tartness is supported by a lean cracker-like malt base and a hint of weathered oak complexity. The Hallertauer Blanc hops contribute a distinct vinous character reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc, finishing bone-dry with a refreshing, effervescent snap that belies its extended maturation.

Appearance. Straw to very pale gold (2–3 SRM). Clear to slightly hazy with an effervescent character. Pours a large, white, dense head with moderate to poor retention, leaving light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity lactic sourness provides a sharp, lemony lead. The Hallertauer Blanc dry-hopping adds sophisticated layers of gooseberry, white wine, and elderflower. Low crackery malt is present, alongside a faint, nuanced woody note from the 15-month oak conditioning.

Taste. Initial impression is a clean, puckering lactic acidity. Distinct flavors of tart lemon and green apple transition into a vinous hop character featuring white grape and lemongrass. Malt presence is low, tasting of fresh bread dough or crackers. Bitterness is nearly undetectable (low IBU), balanced entirely by acidity. The finish is bone-dry and crisp with a lingering citrus zest aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Light body with a lean, refreshing texture. High carbonation provides a prickly, effervescent sensation on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is non-existent at 3.5% ABV. Noticeable crisp acidity but lacks harsh astringency.
