Tempel Brygghus

This Straight Sour Beer offers a vibrant sensory experience, blending a sharp, clean lactic acidity with the distinctive profile of New Zealand Motueka hops. On the nose, intense notes of fresh lime zest and mojito-like citrus leap forward, supported by a subtle, crackery pale malt foundation. The palate mirrors this aromatic intensity, where a dominant lemony sourness meets tropical fruit esters and a crisp, bready backbone. Despite the generous dry-hopping, bitterness remains negligible, allowing the bright acidity and lime-forward hop character to lead into a bone-dry, refreshing finish that epitomizes a modern, hop-forward interpretation of the style.

Appearance. Pale straw to light yellow (2-3 SRM). Features a slight haze from dry-hopping. Pours with a large, dense, white head that exhibits poor to moderate retention; effervescent carbonation is visible.

Aroma. High intensity of clean, sharp lactic sourness resembling lemon and tart apple. The dry-hop addition of Motueka provides a distinct layer of lime zest, tropical fruit, and a hint of fresh herbs. Malt character is low, presenting as light crackers or fresh bread dough.

Taste. Initial impression is a brisk, clean lactic sourness that dominates the palate. A subtle bready and biscuity pale malt flavor provides a necessary backbone. Hop flavor is moderate, featuring lime and citrus notes from the Motueka. Bitterness is very low and nearly undetectable (under 8 IBU). The finish is crisp, dry, and refreshing with a lingering citrusy acidity.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation that produces a prickly, effervescent sensation. No alcohol warmth is perceived at this ABV. Crisp acidity provides a clean, mouth-watering finish without astringency.
