CoolHead Brew

This Straight Sour Beer is a sensory homage to a Bulgarian yogurt bowl, showcasing a complex interplay of tartness and creamy indulgence. The aroma leads with a sharp, clean lactic tang from the yogurt culture, quickly layered with the vibrant, jammy scent of raspberries and a delicate floral lift of rose water. Madagascar vanilla beans provide a rounding, aromatic sweetness that bridges the gap between the zingy fruit and the toasted and caramelized oats. On the palate, the banana puree lends a silky texture, supporting a bright acidity that finishes refreshingly off-dry with a lingering hint of bready, biscuity malt.

Appearance. Pours a hazy, vibrant rose-pink to soft red with a fine, pink-tinted head that shows poor retention; effervescent despite the inclusion of heavy fruit purees.

Aroma. High intensity; a sharply sour lactic character harmonizes with fresh raspberry tartness and a distinct floral rose water note. Secondary aromas of sweet Madagascar vanilla and ripe banana esters are supported by a faint, toasted oat and biscuity malt backbone.

Taste. A dominant, clean lactic sourness provides an immediate zing, followed by rich raspberry fruit and a delicate, perfumed rose petal flavor. The Madagascar vanilla beans add a perceived sweetness that balances the acidity, while toasted and caramelized oats and banana puree contribute a smooth, grainy depth. The finish is crisp and off-dry, with no detectable hop bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body, notably creamier than typical for the style due to the toasted oats and banana puree; moderate carbonation provides a refreshing lift against the plush texture; light alcohol warmth.
