Summer Is Coming is a bright, refreshing Straight Sour Beer that masterfully integrates the pungent profile of Mosaic hops into a clean, acidic base. The sensory experience begins with an effervescent, pale straw appearance and an intense aroma of sharp lactic sourness layered with tropical fruit, citrus, and hints of blueberry characteristic of the Mosaic variety. On the palate, a crisp, crackery malt backbone provides a subtle canvas for a lemony tartness and stone fruit esters. With its 5.6% ABV and high carbonation, it delivers a lively mouthfeel and an off-dry finish that emphasizes its vibrant, fruit-forward hop character and refreshing acidity.
Appearance.Very pale straw color (2 SRM) with a brilliant to slight hazy clarity. Features a large, dense white head with poor retention and a highly effervescent character.
Aroma.High intensity lactic sourness is dominant, accompanied by a clean fermentation profile. Notable Mosaic hop character provides layers of mango, papaya, and blueberry. A light crackery and biscuity pale malt presence sits in the background.
Taste.Strong, clean lactic sourness dominates the initial impression. Complementary flavors of bready and crackery malt support a moderate citrusy-lemony acidity and tart apple esters. The hop flavor is prominent with tropical and stone fruit notes, though bitterness remains very low to undetectable. The finish is crisp and off-dry with no harsh acidity or vinegar.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with high carbonation. The mouthfeel is defined by a crisp acidity and a clean, refreshing snap. A subtle alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated at this gravity.
