Prairie Artisan Ales Funky Gold Amarillo
Aroma: “Moderate tartness up front, with a nice citrus hops profile (lemon, orange, and grapefruit) and light spiciness. Some fresh hops character, but it sits in the back to the sour.”
Flavor: “Tart and refreshing. The lemon, mango, and melon fruit sweetness hits with the high sourness and tartness up front, which adds some fruit complexity. The hops provide some complexity in the middle with some spice and citrus notes. Good carbonation brings out the tartness almost to the point of being harsh, and nice refreshing finish.”
Overall: “Bold and enjoyable. This beer has layers of flavors, nice carbonation, and strong tartness without being overpowering. An explosive array of different tropical flavors with balanced tartness makes this very intriguing.”
