Oersoep Kitty Cat
Sour Ale 5.5 º
This playful Straight Sour Beer presents a vibrant sensory profile, merging a crisp kettle sour base with the soft, juicy textures of a New England Ale. The aroma is defined by the citrus-forward punch of Citra and Mosaic hops, delivering bright layers of lemon zest and pithy grapefruit over a subtle bready malt foundation. On the palate, a clean, lactic acidity from the Wild at Heart house culture provides a refreshing tang that harmonizes with tropical fruit esters. The finish is remarkably dry and effervescent, leaving a lingering zest of citrus and a soft, pillowy mouthfeel typical of its blended heritage.
Appearance. Pale straw (2-3 SRM) with a significant haze from the New England Ale blend. Features a large, frothy white head with moderate retention and light lacing.
Aroma. High intensity lactic sourness is balanced by a potent hop character. Prominent notes of lemon and grapefruit derived from Citra and Mosaic dominate, supported by a subtle, crackery pale malt aroma and clean, fruity esters.
Taste. Initial impression is a sharp, clean lactic acidity that remains refreshing rather than harsh. Hop flavors of grapefruit and lemon peel are prominent, supported by a light, grainy, and bready malt backbone. Bitterness is very low and undetectable against the tartness. The finish is off-dry to dry, featuring a lingering citrus tartness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a slightly soft, creamy texture. High carbonation provides an effervescent, crisp quality. No perceptible alcohol warmth; smooth and refreshing acidity.
