Apricot & Citra Dry Hopped Sour
Rouge River Brewing Company

 

Thanks to JLindros for sharing this can.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice hazy pale gold hue with a thin white head that fades to leave light wisps and a thin blanket.

S - Big aromas of juicy Citra hops, big oranges. Surprising amount of apricot candies on the nose as well, juicy.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with nice citrus and orange peel. Decent tart apricots with big pits. Finish is truly bitter and flemmy.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, body is thin, flemmy.

O - Overall this was a solid enough kettle sour, loved the fruit but the hops became far too bitter on the finish.

Serving Type: can

Picked up in Ontario, canned Aug 15, 2019, shared with rudzud,

Light fizzy foamy head with lower retention, a little lacing, opaque peach color

Nose bit citra hops out front, citrus and a little spicy hop typical citra, even a touch of mango, apricot is pretty big too, tart funk and lacto like funk as well

Taste big tart lacto like funk not a ton, fruits are there but less than the nose, bright citrus and mango but not a ton, fair amount of apricot, juicy apricot, apricot skin, it's nice up to this point but the bitterness gets a little rough, spicy hop like notes, flemmy sticky finish

Mouth is med bod, a bit creamy lacto funk with flemmy finish, low carb

Overall pretty nice, nose was awesome, but taste was too bitter and a bit too flemmy, and lack of carb was tough, otherwise this would have been really good
