Fully tropical arrangement of one of the most popular sweet and sour beer styles – Pastry Sour Ale!
We enriched the hazy, wheat and barley malt base with the addition of banana fruits, lychee puree and lime juice! As a result, a thick, intensely aromatic and super refreshing beer was created, which, regardless of the current weather, will take your taste cups on sunny tropics!
Malts/extract:
Mix of barley and wheat malt and oatmeal, which influenced a softer texture and a fuller body. We also add a bit of lactose, which marked its presence in the form of a sweeter aftertaste.
Hops:
Brewed with the “just enough” amount of new wave hops to complete the tropical aroma without dominating fruits.
Additives:
- Fruits: bananas & lychee puree, lime juice
- Coconut flakes – Added at the last, ageing stage to emphasize the tropical character.
Bacteria:
This beer was kettle souered with our house Lactobacilus strain. We let the bacteria work overnight to low they final pH of the beer just before boiling.
