Stu Mostów / La Pirata ART39 Pastry Sour Ale Cherry Cola

Recreating the nostalgic essence of 1990s cherry cola, this pastry sour pours a hazy, deep reddish-brown with a persistent pinkish foam. The aroma bursts with spicy cola nut, sweet cherry, and a bright, citrusy lactic acidity. On the palate, a velvety base of wheat and oat flakes, sweetened with lactose, provides a luscious counterpoint to the vibrant, tart citrus notes from Lactobacillus fermentation. Rich cola syrup and dark cherry flavors dominate, balancing sweet pastry-like decadence with a clean, refreshing sour finish. It is a highly creative, evocative, and beautifully balanced modern wild specialty beer.
