CRAFT RADLERS AND SOUR BEERS
Sunblink |Berry Sour | 5.00% alc/vol Cannery Brewing | Pentiction, Bc, Canada
Craft Radlers and Sour beers are also very drinkable light summer beers. A traditional Radler combines equal parts light-colored, hoppy beer and citrus flavours (grapefruit, lemon, lime etc), but nowadays you can add just about anything. However, in saying that, the flavour should still be a crisp combination of sweet and tart, with a touch of bitterness for balance. Sour beer on the other hand has an intentionally acidic, tart, or sour taste. Radler is the Bavarian dialect word for Radfahrer, meaning cyclist. But it is also a German term for a mixture of beer and fruit, fruit soda, or lemonade. We are not sure what the association is and honestly, we do not care. One thing we do know is, that these should be in your cooler, because they were in ours all summer long.
Sunblink Berry Sour from Cannery Brewing is a uniquely refreshing beer. This light sour beer is brewed with a blend of raspberries, blackberries, and currants. It has a tart yet sweet fruit flavor that is balanced perfectly by a light malty backbone. The beer has an attractive pink color that pairs well with its lightly tart, berry flavor. It has a medium- bodied mouthfeel making it great for sipping on a hot summer day. The Sunblink Berry Sour is light and crisp and perfect for session drinking. It has just enough flavor to make it enjoyable but not overbearing. Cannery Brewing has hit the mark with this beer. So, whether you’re at the beach or by the fire you’ll find this beer on ice in the Ultimate Craft Cooler.
Gahan brewing | Charlottetown, PE, Canada Jam Packed| Raspberry sour| 5.00% alc/vol
Gahan Brewing (PEI Brewing Co Brand) Jam Packed is a kettle-soured wheat beer inspired by some of their favourite West and East coast sour beers. Conditioned and finished with real raspberries that give it the fantastic nose, taste, and colour. The best way to describe it is, if jam on biscuits were a beer and we are very excited to have in the cooler this summer. We feel in love with this beer at the Cavendish Beach Music Festival and hope to load up the Chilly Moose cooler again when we head over in September for the Sommo Festival.
