Rye Sour by Good George Brewing is a captivating Berliner Weisse-style beer that promises to delight the senses. Hailing from Hamilton, New Zealand, this brew boasts a hazy golden color and a thick, persistent white head, setting the stage for an intriguing experience. The aroma is a delightful blend of bright, fruity notes, with hints of citrus, pineapple, and stone fruit. Underlying these vibrant scents are the earthy tones of rye and a subtle touch of sourness, hinting at the complex flavors to come. On the palate, Rye Sour delivers a crisp and refreshing experience. The fruitiness from the aroma carries over, but with a more pronounced acidity that provides a delightful tartness. Flavors of lemon, grapefruit, and a hint of oak mingle with the subtle spiciness and grainy complexity imparted by the rye malt. The light-bodied and well-carbonated nature of the beer creates a lively and refreshing mouthfeel, leading to a dry and slightly tart finish that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
