Tart Blonde Ale Dry-Hopped with Mosaic & Citra
This brew is lacto-soured in the kettle, like a Berlinerweisse. (This was the second beer we tried this technique with). Then we dry hop with some punchy hops. Nelson Sauvin, Citra & Amarillo are a few that we have used. Zing! You end up with a real pleasant, thirst quenching, tart little Blonde beer backed up with some big, juicy, fruity hop notes. Our "Changeling" series is a direct descendant of this experiment.
