Dry-hopped Hibiscus Sour
TailGate Brewery - Headquarters

TailGate Brewery "Dry-hopped Hibiscus Sour"
$8 / pint on tap @ Tailgate Brewery CT02, Nashville International Airport, Nashville, TN

Look: The head fades immediately as is usually the case with sour beers. The body is a hazy amber-orange.
Smell: Acidic and lightly mineralish with some minor floral and citrusy hop notes.
Taste: The taste is as the aroma suggests. It's fairly tart, not hoppy, and certainly not bitter but still very refreshing.
Feel: Medium-light in body with a moderate carbonation that's enhanced by a zippiness from the acidity.
Overall: I was hoping for more hop character from the dry hopping but I understand it. In a sour beer there's already a lot of acidity, and the acids from the hops just don't have a lot of residual sugars left to adhere to, and then there's the fact that the sweetness of the malt bolsters the aroma of the hops and that's just not the case in a sour beer. It's cleaner than I expected in terms of a lactic fermentation, however, which is great.
