Mikkeller Spontandryhop Citra

5.5%

Spontandryhop Citra is one of our favorite sour ales from Mikkeller right now, and it gets a nice tropical and subtle grassy boost from being dry-hopped with Citra. This pours a vibrant, glowing orange color, topped by a thin layer of white foam. Appealing and juicy in the glass. Complex, lemony tart aromatics lead: tangerines, grapes, plus sweet-sour savory elements as a secondary flourish. Nicely layered fermentation; mouthwatering and potent.

Lively, tart, and expressively vinous from the start. Spontandryhop Citra showcases bracing sourness at first, opening up to toasty sourdough and savory edges. Hints of leather and oak come through as this warms up a bit. The flavor profile is citrus heavy to start, with candied lemons and tangerine, before expanding into a surprisingly vast, layered sour ale experience. Hints of grass and tropical notes from the Citra provide welcome brightness at the edges.
