Dugges Bryggeri

This Imperial Straight Sour Beer delivers a vibrant tropical profile reminiscent of a classic tiki cocktail. It leads with a sharp, clean lactic acidity that provides a bright backbone for plush, sun-ripened pineapple and rich, creamy coconut. Subtle nuances of toasted oak add a sophisticated dry structure, while an unexpected, delicate whisper of coffee provides an earthy counterpoint to the tart fruit. Despite its strength, the malt remains a soft, biscuity support, allowing the fruit and fermentation character to dominate. It is a bold, evocative experience that balances intensity with a crisp, refreshing finish.

Appearance. Pale gold with a slight haze. Pours with a large, dense white head that shows moderate retention for a sour style, leaving faint lacing.

Aroma. High intensity sourness with a dominant lactic character. Bold aromas of tropical pineapple and sweet coconut water are prominent. Beneath the fruit lies a faint toasted oak woodiness and a very light, roasted coffee bean earthiness. Low biscuity malt and no hop aroma.

Taste. Assertive, clean lactic sourness is immediate, followed by a rush of juicy pineapple and creamy coconut. A light toasted oak tannin provides mid-palate complexity. The finish is off-dry and crisp, with a lingering tartness and a subtle, dark coffee depth that balances the tropical sweetness. Hop bitterness is undetectable.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a notable creaminess from the coconut additions. Carbonation is moderate-high and effervescent. A gentle alcohol warmth is present, consistent with its imperial strength, but it remains refreshing without being heavy.
