PINTA Kwas Epsilon is a complex Wild Specialty Beer that defies expectations by balancing sharp lactic acidity with the bold, resinous character of a Double India Sour. The aroma is an intense citrus explosion of lemon, lime, and green grapefruit, driven by a heavy-handed addition of Citra and Cascade hops. On the palate, the interplay between sourness and sweetness is mediated by a firm bitterness from Columbus hop extract. Ripe orange and tropical fruit notes from Mosaic hops emerge against a creamy, medium-full body, while Warrior hops provide a clean foundation. The finish is lingering and multi-faceted, showcasing a clean lactic tang from the triple-strain Lactobacillus fermentation.
