This Straight Sour Beer offers a refreshing, sharply acidic profile driven by clean lactic sourness and a distinctive, lovely funkiness. The aroma is dominated by lemony citrus and tart green apple esters, supported by a subtle, clean backdrop of biscuity pale malt. Effervescent and pale straw in color, it presents a crisp palate where the sharp acidity takes center stage, washing over soft crackery notes and grainy malt depth. Without any hop interference, the finish remains dry and bright, highlighting a puckering tartness that perfectly balances the light, airy body and high carbonation for a revitalizing experience.
