Long day working outdoors. Now Sour Ale for a nightcap. The beer looks hazy, blood orange juice colored. Adorable. Tame carbonation lays a meager head that barely spreads on the surface in the first place. The foamy layer dissipates hastily to the sides of the surface. The scent is first quite candy-like and artificial. It's astonishingly sweet. Then the olfactory triumph settles down and starts giving familiar nuances of red berries: I pick especially sweet cherry and raspberry, accompanied by a tad strawberry. Further behind, I find modest lingonberry and distant carrot. However, there's no carrot, nor strawberry in this beer. The taste profile turns it all the other way around: now I'm getting cranberry, lingonberry and redcurrant. Cherry and raspberry go fully undercover. Carrot still pops up occasionally. The body is light. The finish continues on the Nordic sour berry path. The sweeter berries are absent. The aftertaste spoons old grandma's berry porridge hungrily and feels nostalgic for a brief while. The mouthfeel is light, even somewhat thin, medium-tart but also quite puckering though. It's also juicy, gardeny and definitely rich in berries. Summery for sure.

Sopivan hapan, oluen maku tuli vain valitettavasti jälkikäteen esille.
