This Straight Sour Beer offers a nostalgic sensory experience, blending the sharp lactic acidity of the style with the whimsical, tart-sweet essence of Nerds candy. At 6.5% ABV, it presents a surprisingly robust foundation where clean, crackery malts support a playful explosion of fruit esters reminiscent of grape and strawberry confectionery. The profile is defined by a crisp, lemony brightness that dances alongside the sugary-tart candy character, finishing bone-dry and effervescent. It is a refreshing yet potent take on the style, where the clean fermentation allows the candy-inspired fruit notes to shine without the palate becoming cloying or heavy.

Appearance. Very pale straw (2 SRM); large, dense white head with poor retention; clarity ranges from clear to a slight candy-like haze with high effervescence.

Aroma. High intensity lactic sourness dominates, layered with moderately-high artificial fruit esters of grape and cherry; clean, crackery malt base with no hop aroma or fermentation byproducts.

Taste. Initial impression is a sharp, clean lactic sourness followed by a playful tart-candy flavor; light bready and grainy malt presence supports the acidity; hop bitterness is undetectable (0 IBU context); finishes very dry and crisp with a lingering lemony zing.

Mouthfeel. Light body with high carbonation; refreshing and crisp acidity provides a mouth-watering sensation; subtle alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated; no astringency.
