Sour Ale 5 º 20 IBU

Santina El Permitido is a whimsical Wild Specialty Beer that masterfully recreates the experience of a Key lime pie. The sharp, clean tartness of a kettle sour base provides a bright, acidic canvas for zesty lime notes to shine, while the addition of lactose adds a creamy, silken texture reminiscent of meringue. Warm, woody nuances of cinnamon evoke a buttery graham cracker crust, supported by the aromatic sweetness of vanilla. This collaboration with Manjar Deli House balances citrus-driven sharpness with an indulgent, dessert-like richness, resulting in a refreshing yet complex profile that remains approachable at five percent ABV.

Appearance. Pale straw to bright yellow (SRM 3-4) with a slight haze. The white head forms with moderate volume but recedes quickly to a thin collar, exhibiting minimal lacing due to the acidic environment and adjunct oils.

Aroma. High intensity with dominant scents of fresh lime zest and citrus juice. A distinct sweetness follows, characterized by creamy vanilla and a warm, woody note of cinnamon. A low doughy malt presence provides a base, while a clean lactic acidity is evident without any funky or barnyard characteristics.

Taste. Initial impression is a bracing lime tartness, immediately softened by the silky sweetness of lactose and vanilla. The cinnamon provides a subtle earthy spice that mimics a baked crust on the back of the palate. Hop bitterness is negligible, allowing the lactic acidity to provide the primary balance against the residual sugars. The finish is medium-dry with lingering citrus and spice notes.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with a perceptible creaminess from the lactose addition. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a refreshing prickle that cuts through the sweetness. Alcohol warmth is absent, and there is no significant astringency.
