Brew Info:
- Brewery: Chappell Brewing (Salt Lake City, Utah)
- Website: https://chappell.beer/
- Brew: Miso Sour After Soaking Tart Ale
- Style: Sour Beer
- Serving: 16 ounce can
- ABV: 7.0%
- Ingredients: White miso, umami, ginger, yuzu, and mineral salt
- Pour: The Miso Sour After Soaking pours a frothy, bright white, 1+ finger head that slowly dissipates quickly, leaving a thin ring with sticky, sudsy lacing.
- Nose: The nose is tart, citrusy, slightly salty, slightly sweet, and slightly spicy. There are aromas of freshly cut yuzu, lemon juice and zest, light miso, and a splash of wild honey.
- Taste: The taste follows the nose with lots of tart and fruity flavors along with more subtle savory, salty, and spicy flavors. There are notes of lemon juice and zest, fresh yuzu, fresh ginger, hints of miso, a sprinkle of sea salt, and light honey.
- Mouthfeel: Light to medium-bodied and well-carbonated, the mouthfeel of the Miso Sour After Soaking is crisp and tart, yet very smooth with a dry, slightly sweet finish.
Overall pairing: Those unique fruity, tart, and very crushable flavors of Chappell Brewing's Miso Sour After Soaking are a great companion and foil to the death metal assault of the infernal Antropomorphia! The bright juiciness is a nice foil to the band's aggression and the brutal vocals, while the tarter flavors go great with the crunch of the fiery guitars, the thunderous and intricate bass lines, and the hard-hitting, machine gun fire drumming! 'Nuff said!
Hails and prosit!!
