"Beers with Vrienden" collaboration with New Belgium, described as an ale brewed with lime peel, lemongrass and habanero.
Judging by the name, I thought this was going to be a smoked sour. On the contrary, I have the pleasure of this being my first "spicy" sour. I'm not sure if anything like this has ever been done before.
Pours clear yellow, with an unusual head of random foam and bubbles, like an artisinal pizza crust.
On the nose is a bit of tart apple and funk. The flavor of apple picks up on the tongue and then a spicy kick rounds out the profile gently before swallowing.
Unlike Habanero Sculpin, this doesn't kick in and build and build after your first swallow. The heat is primarily in the swirling, and it's a nice, drinkable spice. Detectable, but not off-putting.
Really well done.
