Never Too Much is a sophisticated Straight Sour Beer that showcases a masterful blend of golden ales aged in bourbon barrels. The sensory profile is defined by a sharp, clean lactic acidity that presents as bright lemon and tart green apple. This intense sourness is grounded by a crackery malt base and nuanced layers of toasted oak and soft vanilla derived from its time in the wood. Despite the barrel influence, the beer remains remarkably refreshing and effervescent, finishing bone-dry. The result is a vibrant, multifaceted sour that balances puckering acidity with the elegant, structural complexity of bourbon-soaked staves.
Appearance.Straw to pale gold (SRM 3-4); brilliant clarity with a fine, white, dense head that exhibits moderate to poor retention; highly effervescent.
Aroma.High intensity lactic sourness dominant with notes of lemon zest and tart apple; secondary notes of toasted oak and a faint whisper of vanilla; low crackery malt; no hop aroma; clean fermentation profile without Brettanomyces funk.
Taste.Strong, clean lactic sourness leads the palate, followed by a subtle bready and biscuity malt backbone. Pale fruit flavors of lemon and unripe peach are prominent. Hop bitterness is undetectable. The finish is very dry and crisp, with a lingering acidic tang and a soft, woody tannin complexity from the bourbon barrels.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with high, prickly carbonation; provides a crisp, refreshing acidity; very low alcohol warmth despite the 6% ABV; slight tannic grip from the wood aging.
