Tangelo Ripple: A Vibrant and Refreshing Sour Delight Hailing from the renowned brewing region of Nelson, New Zealand, Duncan's Brewing has crafted a true gem with their Tangelo Ripple. This sour-style pale ale is a symphony of flavors, captivating the senses with its vibrant appearance and enticing aroma. The beer's copper-amber hue is crowned with a creamy off-white head, setting the stage for the flavor journey to come. The aroma is a delightful blend of ripe tangelos, complemented by hints of sweet orange, grapefruit, and subtle floral notes. As the first sip graces the palate, a juicy burst of tangelo sweetness envelops the senses, balanced by a tart citrus kick and a delicate hint of bitterness. The hops contribute a delicate floral and pine resin character, seamlessly complementing the fruit flavors. The mouthfeel is light-bodied and effervescent, with a crisp, clean finish that enhances the refreshing nature of this beer. The moderate carbonation adds to the overall experience, making Tangelo Ripple a perfect companion for light and summery dishes, such as grilled seafood, fresh salads, and tacos featuring citrus-marinated meats or vegetables.
