WiLD Sour Series: Synchopathic
DESTIHL Brewery

Pours a clear warm amber with a finger and a half if head that settles to a thin cap with little lacing. Aroma of tart pineapple and orange traces of other citrus. Nice tart taste and feel. Very enjoyable.

 

Best of the 'Wild Sour Series', for my taste anyway. Not a complex beer at all - but hits the right simple notes. Touch of sour cherry at the end, when the tart winds down. Overall, I could drink a few of these and not get tired of 'em. But what do I know? Not too much. What I DO know is that this IS an enjoyable, 'under the radar' sour.

 

 

 

 

Most of the contents from two twelve ounce cans were used to fill a clear glass Imperial pint mug. The color is a dull light amber with no enduring head. There's almost no odor, not even some funky sourness emanating. The taste is sour enough and it includes some sort of earthy malt that won't be found in many sours. The sour/tart character is the only thing at the onset. Then, the malt starts to even that out, but not to the extent it sweetens the brew, it just softens the finish and adds another taste dimension. Being a Wild Sour, mouthfeel just isn't going to be rich or smooth. This is a very good Wild Sour that is better than this rating will show by virtue of the emphasis on looks and smell.

Pours rather transparent with lively carbonation with a one-fingered head that gives way to a solid ring of foam, and then strong lacing.
The aroma is quite understated. Grapefruit citrus notes with hints of lime, malt and funk.
The flavor is quite sour, even for the style. Grapefruit citrus is very forward, but hints of lime and maybe melon—say, cantaloupe--show up. There is a touch of the malty backbone, but it pales amongst the sour.

Fairly light bodied with excellent carbonation and crispness. Perfect for hot days! Very tart and acidic and then dry at the finish. No alcohol apparent.

Excellent representation of the style, looking forward to drinking more of these.

 

 

Canned 6/30/20

You know it’s funny, I usually buy singles of new beers to see if I like it. I was not at my usual store when I saw this so it was only in 6 packs but I had a good feeling. I liked it so much that I had all of the other 5 before actually sitting down to review this. It’s very familiar to me at this point

Pours a clear orange gold with 2 fingers of off white head that quickly fades to nothing and leaves no lacing

The aroma brings plenty of citrusy notes, mostly tart lemon and lime backed with sweeter orange. A bit salty, which reminds me of a gose. Some light piney hops and caramel malt are also present

The taste is a lot of the same, tons of lime throughout but balanced out by lightly bitter red grapefruit. In the finish it is quite grassy and floral from the hops, even with a touch of leathery funk to keep things interesting

There’s a lot of volume to this beer given the low abv, medium bodied with moderate carbonation which leads to a super refreshing drink. Though it finishes a touch sticky, it doesn’t really harm the drinkability as it’s still quite tart

This could very well be one of the best in their sour series. It has a very nice balance, and I can imagine it would be even better fresh. Cheers Destihl, keep making awesome beers

Synchopathic pours a brighter bronze color, with a long lasting, large head. Sweet, yet dry fruit aroma. Flavor is salty, tart, dry fruit notes,hints of earth. Good body and feel. Overall, a more balanced sour beer, notable tartness, nice dry flavors.

 

 

Destihl 3rd review, and this 37th. Like this enough to try many more in the Sour Series.
a) Clear golden, thin head and lace as with sources, energetic carb.
s) Astringent, dry white wine like, lime and flowers. Medicinal.
t) Follows aroma but much more complex and interesting - winner! Acidic sour, with intense, fruity & floral pale ale background. APA meets strong sour.
f) Refreshing, tart, great lunch beer (in this case arugula pesto over cherry tomoto, onion, greens, and garden pasta.
o) Prima vera! Prima bira!
Looking forward to more in this series.

 

Clear straw to light gold with one finger head. Citrusy, spicy nose, lemon, tangerine, grapefruit, with a little pine, caraway, yeasty funk, pineapple, guava, floral notes, bready malt. The flavor is largely dominated by lactic acid, with a little funk and malt. Very tart.

 

Poured from a 12 ounce can into a chalice.

Pours a light straw with moderate cloud. One finger, Rocky head settles to a half finger soapy cap.

Aroma is sour hops. Tropical fruit and dank pine sap.

Flavor is super tart and sour on the open. Soureness in the middle yields to a slight hop flavor, then back to sour. I honestly can't pull out much of a flavor profile due to the tartness of the beer. It's sour, just to be sour. No brett flavors, no Flanders flavors, just sour.

Mouthfeel is thin and reasonably attenuated.

Way too tart and sour without the addition of any other flavors.
