Fruited Sours

Fruited Sours offer a lively tartness balanced by vibrant fruit flavors that range from bright berries to tropical notes, depending on the blend. These ales typically exhibit a crisp, refreshing acidity with a medium to light body, often complemented by a subtle funkiness from wild yeast or lactobacillus. The aroma showcases juicy fruit scents layered with a gentle sour punch, while the palate is marked by a clean sour bite and a lingering fruit sweetness. Their golden to pinkish hues invite exploration of complex flavors that highlight the interplay between sourness and fruit character.
