Breakside Brewery La Tormenta Dry-Hopped Sour Ale

by | Nov 27, 2014

“Seasonal winter ales,” are three words, beloved by all, that inspire visions of rich, chocolate brown stouts, hoppy red ales and perhaps a pumpkin brew or two (check out our list of a few notables). Although these heavy ales, stouts and lagers fare well with cold weather and hearty meals, sometimes it is necessary to brighten an overcast day by sipping on something with a sunnier flavor profile.

Breakside Brewery broke the norm with their latest fall/winter seasonally offered brew, La Tormenta. This dry-hopped sour ale treats the drinker to a sweet, tropical escape. A great gateway to those hesitant to taste their way through the sour beer craze, this light beer combines a subtle tartness with a sweet, citrusy hop blend. The flavors are pronounced, yet subtle, pleasing to any palate without overwhelming.
