Sour Ale 7 º

Lindheim Ølkompani

Lindheim Ølkompani’s Avalon is an evocative Straight Sour Beer defined by a four-month maceration on farm-fresh juicy plums. This barrel-aged wild ale presents a sophisticated interplay between sharp, clean lactic sourness and the rich, jammy sweetness of stone fruit. The wood aging imparts a delicate structure, weaving subtle tannins into the crisp, pale malt profile. High effervescence carries vibrant notes of lemon and tart apple, while the plum character dominates the mid-palette. It concludes with a refreshing, bone-dry finish, showcasing a masterfully balanced rustic elegance and bright, acidic intensity.

Appearance. Rose-gold to deep amber (6–10 SRM) depending on fruit extraction; modest white head with poor retention; clarity ranges from clear to slightly hazy.

Aroma. High intensity; sharp lactic acidity and prominent fresh plum; secondary esters of lemon and tart apple; faint oak and vanilla from barrel aging; no hop aroma; pale malt provides a subtle crackery background.

Taste. Initial impression is a bracing, clean lactic sourness followed immediately by lush plum fruitiness; subtle crackery malt; undetectable hop bitterness; no hop flavor; bone-dry finish with a lingering tart fruit aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Light body; high carbonation; crisp acidity; moderate alcohol warmth; very slight tannic astringency from fruit skins and barrel contact.
