From the brewer

What’s hoppy, sour and tropical all in the same sip? Our surprisingly sessionable HOP TART . This easy drinker blends Belgian Pale malt from the Colorado Malting Company with biting lactobacillus for a slight hint at sourness that propels bursts of passion fruit, guava and pineapple courtesy of hefty Nelson Sauvin, Galaxy and Experimental Hop 522 dry-hopping. This Hop Kitchen release delivers a new spin on the American sour ale.

Who's been drinking this

Hops first and foremost, with the fresh, fragrant flavor of a dry-hopped pale. Then, a sharp turn to very dry tartness. It's a nice juxtaposition, and definitely intriguing.
Moderately hoppy with some of the flavor overtones of an IPA, But mild and with an undertone of a sour . Dry, mild, and complex.
