Speciation Artisan Ales Mixotroph
Sour Ale 10 º
Mixotroph is a potent, high-gravity Straight Sour Beer that transforms a traditional lactic base into a sophisticated fruit punch profile. The deep, vinous character of dark sweet cherry melds seamlessly with the tropical brightness of pineapple and a sharp citrus lift from lime. A distinctive ginger spice threads through the sensory experience, providing a zesty, piquant counterpoint to the intense acidity. Oak aging lends a subtle tannic structure and soft vanilla undertones that anchor the significant 10% ABV warmth. This complex sour balances a punchy, fruit-forward sweetness with a crisp, acidic finish, resulting in a multi-layered and refreshing character.
Appearance. Deep amber with distinct reddish-pink hues (SRM 14-16); slightly hazy with a moderate, pale-pink head that shows fair retention and light lacing; effervescent.
Aroma. High intensity; sharply sour and lactic. A vibrant bouquet of tart lime and dark sweet cherry dominates, supported by tropical pineapple esters. A noticeable spicy ginger snap provides a sharp edge, while faint vanilla and woody oak notes add depth. Low crackery malt character.
Taste. Initial impression is a clean, assertive lactic sourness followed immediately by a complex blend of sweet cherry and acidic pineapple. Lime provides a sharp citrus middle that transitions into a spicy, lingering ginger heat. Malt flavor is low and bready. The finish is off-dry and highly acidic with a complex, lingering fruit punch aftertaste. Hop bitterness and flavor are undetectable.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a weightier presence than typical sours; noticeable alcohol warmth due to the high ABV. Moderate carbonation with a crisp, sharp acidity and a slight tannic dryness from the oak.
