Able Chrono Culture Series 003 Strawberry El Dorado Sour Ale. 4.6% ABV, 8 IBU. Able Seedhouse & Brewery, Minneapolis, MN.
Clear, golden-toned, with a slight pinkish tint, slim ivory head.
In the nose: Lightly fruity, lightly tart. Sweet meets sour.
In the mouth: Sour blasts the palate from the first, small dose of hops hangs below. Strawberry flavor hangs in for the ride. Light-bodied, long tartness in the finish. Some citrus hop goodness pops up amid the sour and the strawberry. Refreshing.
Not a bad little hoppy, fruity sour ale. Not bad at all.
The third kettle sour in our Chrono series is named for the rush of fresh strawberries that pair with the pineapple and mango notes of El Dorado hops. Finishing bright and tart, this beer is perfect for sipping lakeside.
