Blood Orange Sour
La Cumbre Brewing Co.

 

 

 

This beer is beautiful. It pours orange pumpkin like color. White head cleared quick. Smell is sour or tart on the nose. I barely get any blood orange. I wish it had more fruit forward flavors. The sour is very nice though. Sparkly, bubbly, dry mouthfeel. Great on this warm spring afternoon. I dig it out his beer and it delivers as a sour, but definitely overall needs more blood orange.

16oz canned 1/31/19 BB 5/1/19 poured into a tulip pint glass at fridge temp, no ABV listed on can. The beer pours hefe-hazy in a peach tinted yellow color with nearly white head. The head fizzles away quickly leaving an island of tiny bubbles and a pencil thin ring. The aroma is more sour than blood orange. The taste is blood orange with minimal malt in a space more than tart, but less than full on sour. The mouthfeel is thin bodied, adequately carbonated and dry in the finish. Overall, undecided. As a fruit beer, I hate it. I'm not a fan of sours, but I received this as a trade and I'm trying. Currently listed as a fruit beer, but I'm not sure which type of sour this is to recommend the change.
