There are games that you liked to play as a child and still do it as an adult. Building with colorful plastic blocks is definitely one of them. Adult men sit for days at models of planes, ships or buildings; Seasoned women freak out over miniature locks and small red double-decker buses.
The Czech Rodinny Pivovar Zichovec has come up with a beer that not only has the legendary building blocks on the label, but is also the perfect companion for an extensive building session. Their sour ale called Sour Passion Fruit is the ideal refreshment for in between and is made with a very special brewing technique: To get a nice acidity into the beer, the so-called kettle souring method is used, in which lactic acid bacteria are brewed. This special ingredient conjures up an elegant acidity in the beer, which goes wonderfully with the passion fruit puree, which also finds its way into the kettle. The result of this elaborate process is a wonderfully fruity sour beer with juicy notes of passion fruit and complex depth.
Zichovec’s Sour Ale has a clear, shining golden body on which a small crown of white foam sits enthroned. The unmistakable aroma of juicy passion fruit is reflected in both the smell and the taste. A dominant fruitiness is paired with playful acidity and subtle malt to create a summery composition.
