Sour

"A collaboration beer between Rhyme x Reason and Riverstone Kitchen! Sundance brings big tropical guava to start, with subtly herbaceous basil tones to join in a delicately clean, tart celebration!"

An Ode to Limoncello. A joy to sip, a pleasure to share. Smooth and creamy with a healthy dose of citrus. Stay Classy, Wanaka.

The blackcurrant and lime in this sharp sour make it tart, refreshing and real good-looking.

Bear Hug is an Oud Bruin style sour, otherwise known as a Flanders Brown. It was aged for 16 months in oak barrels, before being can conditioned for a further 5 months. This long aging period allows the Pediococcus bacteria to develop the desired sourness and also results in the malt profile  acquiring some sweet sherry like flavors. A complex blend of dark malts and fruity esters, with balanced sweetness and sourness.

Morning Light is a golden sour fermented and aged in wine barrels with Belgian Saison yeast, Brettanomyces and Lactobacillus. Fermenting directly in the four barrels gave the microflora living in the oak greater opportunity to develop unique characters.

Flemish Red Ales are often referred to as the Burgundy of Belgium due to their deep reddish-brown hue and wine-like characteristics. Outback Sky is our interpretation of a Flemish Red Ale. Composed of a blend of 9 month old and 24 month old barrels. Complex flavours of rich malts, sourness, dark fruits and oak.

Papaya Don?t Preach is a blend of four of our golden sour barrels that had been aged for 11 months. We then added the sweet red flesh of 350 Queensland papayas and aged the beer further. The tropical fruit flavours from the papaya complements the acidity and light funk of the base beer.

#N/A

We love sour beers, and with sunny drinking weather on the way we figured we’d take a crack at an Imperial this time around.  The idea coming from a beloved English pudding – Eton Mess. We have thrown in every berry we could get our hands on and topped it all off with lashings of vanilla and milk sugar.  Our new favourite dessert.

A summer project for the team at Sunshine Brewery. Local watermelon, lime juice and guava create a refreshing heavy fruited sour. A heavy wheat grist provides plenty of body to balance all the light fruit making this a perfect sipper through the summer and autumn months.

Step into the Ripple... Refreshingly sour yet oh so smooth. Juicy, yet tart boysenberry paired with notes of smooth vanilla ice cream create the classic kiwi duet. Supported by a steady backbone of wheat, this beer presents an all-star performance suitable for any occasion!
