From the brewer

To make the 12th Anniversary American Sour Pale – the Wort is soured in the kettle with Lactobacillus and then boiled with Mosaic, Nugget, and El Dorado hops. After fermentation with California Ale Yeast the beer is then dry hopped with the same three hops selected for fruity complexity. The result is a mild sweetness with prominently quenching lemony tartness and a uniquely complex fruity aroma. The creators of this beer are a Green Flash Genius Lab Team: Chris Weber, Fletcher Hillebrand with Brewmaster Chuck Silva.

Who's been drinking this

Just last week I had another dry-hopped sour, the La Tormenta. Where that had a kind of funky tartness, this was a more forward, weiss-like sour, and therefore less unexpected. It also combined with the hop fragrance to leave a clean, fresh sheen over the flavor. The Tormenta was altogether more memorable and, honestly, better, though.
