Sour Ale 6.2 º 8 IBU

Selfmade Brewery

Selfmade Brewery’s Travincal is a vibrant Wild Specialty Beer reimagined through the lens of a Smoothie Sour Ale. It presents a thick, luscious sensory landscape dominated by a tropical trio of mango, papaya, and tangerine. The mango provides a dense, pulpy sweetness, while the papaya adds a soft, musky depth. Tangerine zest cuts through the richness with bright, citrusy highlights. Though categorized as a Wild Specialty Beer, the profile is defined by its massive fruit additions and a creamy, smoothie-like texture. A refreshing lactic acidity balances the residual fruit sugars, leading to a lingering, nectar-like finish that revives the palate.

Appearance. Opaque and viscous, resembling a dense fruit juice. The color is a deep, saturated orange to pale amber. Head is thick but short-lived, with a pale orange tint and minimal lacing due to high fruit solid content.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics of fresh tropical fruit. Dominant notes of ripe mango and sweet papaya are complemented by the sharp, zesty punch of tangerine. Very low malt presence; a clean, lactic sourness provides a bright backdrop without funk or significant yeast esters.

Taste. The initial impression is a burst of sweet, pulpy fruit. Mango and papaya flavors are forward and lush, while the tangerine contributes a tangy acidity that defines the mid-palate. Bitterness is negligible. The fermentation character is clean and acidic, balancing the heavy fruit load. The finish is long and succulent, tasting of pureed fruit.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and highly viscous with a creamy, mouth-coating texture. Carbonation is moderate to low, serving to lift the heavy body. Alcohol warmth is very light and well-integrated. No detectable astringency.
