Sour Ale 6.5 º

L'Espace Public

Bière De Ruelle is a robust and refreshing Straight Sour Beer that balances assertive acidity with a punchy hop profile. Brewed by L'Espace Public to be 'costaude,' its 6.5% ABV provides a sturdy backbone for a vibrant lactic tartness. While the base style often lacks hop presence, this iteration is defined by a significant infusion of hops delivering bright citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit. This citrus character weaves seamlessly through a clean, crackery malt base, resulting in a beer that is both sharply sour and aromatically complex, designed for communal enjoyment and high refreshment in a Montreal alleyway.

Appearance. Very pale straw (2-3 SRM). Features a large, dense white head that typically shows poor retention due to high acidity. Clarity ranges from clear to a slight haze from the hop addition.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominant sharply sour lactic character is layered with a moderate to high citrus hop presence, suggesting lemon zest and grapefruit. A light grainy and crackery pale malt scent provides a subtle background, accompanied by clean fruity esters of tart apple.

Taste. Clean, bracing lactic sourness dominates the palate. A supporting grainy and bready malt flavor is present but restrained. Significant citrusy hop flavors of lime and orange zest complement the acidity. The bitterness is nearly undetectable, overshadowed by the sharp tartness. Finishes very dry and crisp with a lingering citrus note.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, effervescent carbonation. Features a crisp, tongue-tingling acidity and a subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth that adds to the 'costaude' character without being hot.
