Hop BroMejiro's Inkhorn Brewing has released 'Viburnum' in collaboration with VERTERE. Sour fans are probably already buzzing just from the name.
MugiWhat, a collaboration with VERTERE!? That alone sounds delicious, but what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThe contents are a sour ale led by the acidity of boysenberries. It layers in the softness of white chocolate, so the design doesn't end with just fruitiness.
MugiWhat is that! A sour beer with white chocolate in it? I can't even keep up with what that would taste like!
Hop BroWhat makes it interesting is that it has acidity from lactic acid bacteria as its base, so it's not just a sweet dessert-style beer. The sourness gives it shape, and then it leaves a gentle milky finish at the end.
MugiOh wow! Dessert-like but light sounds great. If it doesn't wear me out, I could easily go for another glass!
Hop BroAnd Inkhorn Brewing is especially good at building a wide range of styles beautifully. They do Hazy IPAs, lagers, and sours, but in collaborations they're really good at bringing in the other brewery's personality.
MugiSo this time, it really includes the partner's character too? That's kind of nice, like a joint creation!
Hop BroExactly. The product info is solid too: 6.5% ABV, 500 ml cans. It's a pretty carefully crafted beer that shows the balance among fruit character, acidity, and creaminess.
MugiI'm curious! If I can drink it while moving between acidity and creaminess, I want to go find this tonight!
Hop BroThat's settled then, let's toast with Mejiro's collaboration sour. If you can taste both the sharp fruit edge and the gentle finish, tonight is going to be pretty happy.
