Sour Solera 2nd Pull Tasting

Aroma: Sourness, lactic with vinegar notes. Lemony rind quality. Some light fruit esters, bretty funk. No hops, malt aroma is barely noticeable. As it warms a kind of woody aroma comes through.


Appearance: Golden yellow body. Haziness from yeast slurry. Fluffy white head with small bubbles immediately after pour, but dissipates after a few minutes.


Taste: I get the lemony rhind / pith quality at the start. Aftertaste is quite sour and has a bit of acetic harshness. It also has some woody / tannic quality in the background. Quite dry. Malt flavors barely there, covered up by the sourness.


Mouthfeel: Moderately carbed, somehow though it has a bit of creaminess in the texture.


Overall: A bit too harshly sour - too much viengar. I find the tannic quality a bit weird. Wish I could identify it more precisely. Will keep the solera going just as an experiment.
