Sour Ale 8 º

Overtone Brewing Co

This decadent Wild Specialty Beer captures the essence of a coconut slice cake, balancing a sharp lactic acidity with rich, dessert-like layers. Intense aromas of sun-ripened raspberry jam and toasted coconut flakes lead the sensory experience, supported by a distinctively biscuity malt backbone. On the palate, the initial zing of red fruit transitions into a luxurious, velvety texture reminiscent of coconut cream. The 8% ABV provides a subtle warmth that integrates seamlessly with the jammy sweetness. It finishes with a harmonious blend of lingering berry tartness and a smooth, tropical coconut character that avoids being cloying despite its pastry-inspired richness.

Appearance. Deep pink to reddish-amber with a notable haze from the coconut and fruit additions. Pours with a thick, creamy pink-tinted head that shows moderate retention and leaves some lacing.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominant notes of fresh raspberry jam and sweet coconut cream. Secondary aromas of toasted coconut flakes and a cracker-like, biscuity maltiness. A clean, sharp lactic sourness is present, though funk is minimal, focusing instead on the fruit-forward wild fermentation character.

Taste. A bold, sour initial impression of tart raspberries quickly yields to a mid-palate of sweet coconut and rich, doughy biscuit. Hop bitterness is negligible. The flavor profile is complex, mimicking a fruit-filled pastry with layers of tropical sweetness and berry acidity. The finish is long and balanced, with a pleasant residual sweetness from the coconut.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, almost oily texture from the coconut cream. Moderate carbonation provides enough lift to prevent the beer from feeling heavy. A gentle alcohol warmth is present, enhancing the pastry richness without astringency.
