I review the beers I drink

Brooklyn – Bel Air Sour

 

Honestly, I’m surprised no one has come out with a dedicated “sour ale glass” but since this one does contain wheat malt, I used the wheat beer glass.

Moderately hazy with minimal head retention, smells of clean malts and faint honey; really not much to the aroma. The taste is tart straight away, with predominantly lime flavors on top of a light bready character and a medium body. The finish is mostly quick and low in bitterness with flavors of herbal hops and lime peel flashing across the palate before the wave of astringency and a persistent sour citrus along the periphery. Overall, it’s right on the edge of being too sour, but I enjoy it and could see myself enjoying a few on occasion, if I couldn’t find DFH SeaQuench anywhere.
