Brooklyn Brewery Bel Air Sour
“A wonderfully aromatic beer that gives the impression of a fruit addition despite its lack thereof. Likely hops-derived aromatics of apple, pear, peach, lemon, passion fruit, and tangerine. The fruit aromas give way to a tart, yet refreshingly flavorful beer. Stone-fruit flavors of peach, apricot, and plum are clean and refreshing with the lactic tartness. The souring aspects of this beer masterfully complement the hops profile to create a truly complex and synergistic beer. A great combination of bright, distinct flavors.”
