This elegant Straight Sour Beer reimagines the classic Parisian cocktail, blending a crisp lactic acidity with a lush fruit profile. Vibrant aromas of juicy raspberries and sun-ripened pineapples dominate the nose, supported by a subtle, aromatic undercurrent of smooth vanilla that softens the sharp edges. The pale malt base provides a light, crackery foundation, allowing the tart fruit expressions to shine. Effervescent and refreshing, it balances the zesty tang of a traditional sour with the sophisticated, dessert-like nuances of a French Martini, finishing clean and bright with a lingering berry character and a refreshing, dry snap.
