I Hate Mondays- Orange Cranberry Sour Ale

ABV: 5.1% • IBU:8

ABV: 5.1% • IBU:8
Small Batch Beer • Draft

This ale brings the zesty brightness of oranges and the sharp, fruity tang of cranberries, complemented by a subtle malty backbone. The sour aspect adds a refreshing zing, making it a perfect choice for those who enjoy complex, fruity, and slightly puckering beverages. You don’t need to be a grumpy, orange cat to share the same experience of hating the first day of the week!

About the Style

A wildly popular and modern American beer style, Fruited Kettle Sours are brewed using the “kettle sour” process, wherein lactobacillus is pitched directly into the kettle to sour the wort. Once the desired PH level (“sourness”) is achieved, the wort is boiled to stop the process (kill off the bacteria) and then hopped and fermented as normal. Fruit (juice, purée, whole, zest, etc.) is then added after primary fermentation or maturation, but some brewers may add fruit during fermentation or barrel-aging too. Color, aroma, flavor, and sourness will differ greatly based on the brewer’s intent, fruits being used, and other ingredients, but many examples share a tart, fruity, crisp, and refreshing experience.
