Flying Couch Brewing Happy Sour
Sour Ale 10 º
Flying Couch Brewing’s Happy Sour is an intense Straight Sour Beer that delivers a massive tropical fruit profile. Despite its formidable strength, the beer maintains a refreshing character, weaving together vibrant layers of Peach, Pineapple, Mango, Passion Fruit, and Guava. A sharp, clean lactic acidity provides a structural backbone, balancing the perceived sweetness from the tropical fruit medley. The malt presence is kept intentionally low, offering a faint crackery foundation that allows the fruit and fermentation acids to dominate. It finishes remarkably crisp for its size, leaving a lingering tartness and a well-integrated alcohol warmth that highlights its potent 10% ABV.
Appearance. SRM 3 to 5; pale gold with a significant haze from the heavy fruit additions. Pours with a moderate white head that dissipates relatively quickly, leaving minimal lacing due to high acidity.
Aroma. High intensity aromatics dominated by tropical fruit esters; specifically ripe Mango, tangy Passion Fruit, and sweet Peach. A sharp, lemon-like lactic sourness is clearly present, supported by a faint, clean bready malt character. No hop aroma is detectable.
Taste. Initial impression is a sharp, clean lactic sourness. The mid-palate is saturated with Pineapple and Guava flavors, complemented by a subtle, crackery pale malt depth. Bitterness is undetectable, allowing the acidity to provide the balance. The finish is off-dry and crisp, with lingering notes of acidic fruit skin and a smooth, warming alcohol presence.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body, which is heavier than the base style due to the 10% ABV and fruit solids. Moderate carbonation with a significant, yet smooth, alcohol warmth. Pronounced crisp acidity that is refreshing and mouth-watering.
