Pickle Sour Ale 4.3% ABV
Do you find the experiments of the Craft Breweries boring and similar? We have an unexpected combination that, in the final result, surprises you not only with the idea, but also with its pleasant taste qualities. This beer starts its journey as a standard sour fermented with lactic acid culture. In the secondary fermentation, pickles and their marinade are added to this ale.
The golden straw colour of this beer is reminiscent of traditional sours. The aroma is complex, combining fruity acidity and the unexpected freshness of the pickles with a light hint of vinegar and spices.
Taste is the main trump card of this product. The malt balances the tartness, resulting in a sweet and sour ale that combines not only the fruity, lemony profile of the lactic fermentation, but also the flavours of the pickle and the cucumber, and the complementary spices of coriander, mustard seeds and a minimal amount of chalapeño pepper. All the flavours come together perfectly to paint an unexpected but very balanced canvas of flavour.
This ale is not just an opportunity to taste something unusual or simply an experiment for the sake of experimenting. Sour beer and cucumber combinations are gaining popularity on the global market because of their unexpectedly pleasant flavour characteristics and the surprise factor.
Ingredients: water, barley and wheat malts, pickles, salt, coriander and mustard seeds, chalapeño peppers, hops, yeast.
Sakiškės is a microbrewery based in Vilnius, Lithuania.
About the brewery in their own words –
“Sakiškių alus” is a Vilnius based microbrewery that grew out of the idea of homebrewing. The intention was simple – hand made modern beer, brewed in a hand built brewery. Former homebrewer and now the owner of “Sakiškių alus” Linas Zakarevičius was the one who came up with this idea. The whole brewery fits in an 80 square meter double story carcass house. It’s not much for a production brewery, but in this hand built facility Linas’ ideas become reality from grain to glass, using the equipment that he designed himself. Starting from scratch it took more than half a year to put everything together. Linas is happy he’s got dedicated friends who helped him on the way. But the very special commitment was given be his dad. He was the main helper to raise those walls and put the roof on top of them. He gave up his annual holidays by helping his son to fulfil his dream.”
