Tasting Notes
FruityJuicyTart
One of Nova Scotia’s first craft brewery’s, celebrating their 25th anniversary in 2022 – Garrison Brewing Company located on the Halifax waterfront, follows the rich brewing tradition in Nova Scotia by producing a wide array of flavourful beers for the local market, and nationally. Garrison brews a variety of full flavored, all natural, preservative free ales. Each glass represents a tribute to the art of hand-crafting ales with the finest natural ingredients.
Tasting Notes
A rich reddish-purple colour, expect notes of bubble gum, dragon fruit and mango on the nose. This beer is bursting with flavours of tropical fruit, cranberries, strawberries and cherries with a light tart finish.
Method
Unless intended, sourness in beer is considered a fault. However, in the case of Berliner Weiss, Gose, and Kettle soured beers – bacteria is added intentionally to produce different forms of acidity that contribute to pleasant tart flavours and mouthfeel. These beers can be blended with various fruits, but in the case of the Sour IPA – loads of hops are added for bitterness, flavour, and aroma at different stages. This creates a juicy and citrusy beer with a refreshing tart finish.
