Aroma Comment on malt, hops, esters, and other aromatics

Ácido lático em primeiro plano, com sustentação de frutas roxas, como amora (estilo exige que a fruta seja evidente desde o início, o que é uma pequena falha). Todo malte e lúpulo ficam com escondidos atrás.

Appearance Comment on color, clarity, and head (retention, color, and texture)

Cor de goiaba bem brilhante, extremante turva. Colarinho pequeno, de baixa retenção (podia ser mais).

Flavor Comment on malt, hops, fermentation characteristics, balance, finish/aftertaste, and other flavor characteristics

Acidez média alta em primeiro plano, notavelmente com fruta somente num segundo momento. Framboesa, amora, goiaba. Amargor baixo. Malte e levedura imperceptíveis. Retrogosto meio papelão, mas não posso dizer que é off de oxidação.

Mouthfeel Comment on body, carbonation, warmth, creaminess, astringency, and other palate sensations

Acidez lática (limpa) bem equilibrada com a carbonatação média alta, corpo leve, e final levemente adstringente (sem defeitos).

Overall Impression Comment on overall drinking pleasure associated with entry, give suggestions for improvement

Vendida como Imperial Sour, então a julguei como Catharina Sour. Talvez por isso senti que o caráter de fruta podia ser bem mais pronunciado. Excelente cerveja, alta drinkability (especialmente sendo uma Imperial). Acidez alta, mas sem doer. Certamente compraria novamente.
