Surly/KEX Collaboration - Enigma Dry-Hopped Kettle Sour With Peaches. 5.5% Alc. by Vol.
Clear, bright golden, slim head, soon-gone.
In the nose: Lightly hoppy, lightly soured, lightly peachy. There's something here. It's nice enough, for now.
In the mouth: Tart at first, then fruity. Getting the hops, and more of the fruit. Lean bodied, light, very drinkable, not too sour.
Do they have peaches in Iceland? Does it matter? Everyone loves peaches. And most people also like Herb. Reunited, and it feels so good.
Mild tartness, mild fruit, mild everything. There ain't nothing wrong with it. But we expect a bit more, especially from Surly. This stays far from the edge.
The first beer in our 2018 Collaboration Series is a bright kettle sour we brewed with Iceland’s KEX Brewing. Expect subtle peach notes and fruity hop aromatics from Enigma dry-hopping.

You were very kind. The beer while not bad, may as well be flavorless. Personally, I was greatly disappointed that I spent any money on it.1
I use all the powers at my command in the name of being nice. One never knows. This could have been actually their intention. And there ain't nothing wrong with that.
