This golden sour was fermented with one of our favourite Brettanomyces cultures - fermented extra warm at 30°C+ to push its ester production to the max, producing ripe tropical fruit flavours.
Using the yeasts flavour profile as a guide and inspiration, we transferred the base beer onto the leftover peaches and lees of our previous golden sour – Unicorn Wizard, along with a large addition of passionfruit and mango. The resultant beer represents our most heavily fruited offering to date, and provides a complex, pungent tsunami of tropical flavour.

Copenhagen 7/9 2022. 37,5 cl bottle from Mikkeller & Friends, Bottle Shop, Torvehallerne, Kbh. K. A lot of ripe fruit, a smoking bottle and a skeletal unicorn on the label.
Pours opaque, hazy, golden yellow with a mid-sized white head. Bubbly. Settles as thin, flimsy patch of foam unable of covering much of anything. No lacing.
Aroma is fairly intense with a sweet odor of tropical fruit mingling with a sharp sour scent and a light whiff of funk. Passion fruit and mango. Ripe pears. Sour currants and gooseberries. Sour cheese.
Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, soft, lightly tingling texture.
Flavor is medium intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a slightly stronger sourness. Aftertaste is tart and a bit searing. Lingers for a while. Finish is dry.
A finebalance between the tart and acidic and the ripe sweet fruit.
