Dugges Bryggeri

This Straight Sour Beer offers a striking sensory juxtaposition, merging sharp lactic acidity with the dark, candy-inspired depths of licorice and violet. Visually evocative of a black light poster, the beer leads with a high-intensity aroma of tart green apples and lemon, layered over the distinct, anise-like spice of licorice and a fragrant, perfumed violet bouquet. The palate is defined by a clean, bracing sourness that cuts through the subtle, dark malt earthiness, while the floral and herbal notes provide a complex, nostalgic sweetness. It finishes exceptionally crisp and dry, leaving a lingering, ethereal floral trail against a refreshing, acidic backdrop.

Appearance. Opaque, deep black (SRM 40+); features a moderate-sized, creamy tan head with fair retention and slight lacing; despite its color, the beer maintains a clean, non-viscous clarity.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant sharp, clean lactic sourness with notes of tart lemon and green apple; secondary aromas of herbal licorice, anise, and a distinct, sweet floral perfume of violet; no hop aroma or fermentation funk.

Taste. Initial impression is a bracingly clean lactic acidity; the mid-palate reveals savory-sweet licorice and earthy malt undertones; floral violet notes persist through the finish; undetectable hop bitterness; finishes very dry and crisp with a lingering candy-like herbal aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body; high carbonation providing an effervescent, prickly sensation; crisp, mouth-watering acidity; subtle alcohol warmth consistent with 6% ABV; no astringency.
