Ecliptic Brewing Tucana Tangerine Sour Ale
What the brewers say
“A bright twist of tangerine plays nicely with the balanced tartness and dry finish.”
What our panel thought
“Strong tangerine aroma is disorienting, with significant hop bitterness in the sip. Zesty and beaming flavor profile, with a faint malt structure underneath. Restrained lactic acid.”
What our editors thought
“A curiously malty nose offers a departure from the stylistic norm, highlighted by bright citrus hits. The flavor continues to meld malt and fruit elements, but a strong citrus acidity hits with a shock of muddled lime and orange. An earthy element weighs it down.”
