Sour

Sour beer is defined by its intentionally acidic, tart, or sour flavor profile, achieved through the use of wild yeast and bacteria during fermentation. This process introduces lactic acid, which gives the beer its characteristic tangy taste.
Sour beers are known for their pronounced acidity, often described as tart or puckering.
Brewers often introduce wild yeast strains and bacteria like Lactobacillus and Brettanomyces into the brew to produce the sourness.
These wild organisms create a wide range of flavors, including funky, earthy, fruity, and even barnyard notes.
Some popular styles of sour beer include Gose, Berliner Weisse, and Lambic, each with its unique flavor profile and history.
Many sour beers incorporate fruits to complement the sourness and create a more balanced flavor experience.
One Drop's fruit smoothie sours are known for their intense fruit flavors, creamy texture, and often a high level of sweetness, typically due to added lactose and other ingredients like milk, oats, and sugar. These beers are often characterized by a vibrant, almost sherbet-like flavor profile, with a focus on tropical fruits and sometimes berries.
