Beer Profile

Austin Beerworks Science Defiance

This Sour IPA offers a vibrant duality, blending the tart acidity of a kettle sour with the intense hop character of a modern IPA. It pours hazy, exhibiting a pale straw color and a moderate white head. The aroma is dominated by tropical fruit notes—likely mango, passionfruit, and citrus zest—underpinned by a clean lactic tang. On the palate, a sharp, refreshing sourness immediately cuts through the residual sweetness, followed by a substantial hop bitterness and flavor profile. The mouthfeel is crisp and highly effervescent, resulting in a complex, palate-waking brew that balances fruit, funk, and bitterness.
