The first sip of this is an experience of tart sourness. However, this is not the case for the rest of the time as it rounds out nicely with a delicious fruity flavour

A sour without fermentation of fruit, holy goat do a few of these like white wizard and goats for Ukraine, golden base sour brew relying entirely on the cultures. Golden sours give off funky fruit flavours via the yeast, from tropical to stone fruit. This particular brew is actually hazy and not golden, more amber like an IPA. It's sharp and sweet on the nose with cutting sweet papaya, pineapple cubes and lemon. The first sip is very sour, pucker up! Second sip and you're hit with sweet fruit attempting to battle the sourness. It's deep with pineapple cubes (the sweets), softer papaya fruit and cutting lemon juice. It's very flavoursome and proves you don't need fruit fermentation to achieve this. It's a sweet and sour beauty, but mostly sour, intense all round. A proper sour.
