Coal Harbour Brewing Co. – Dryhopped Pineapple Sour Ale Review

Coal Harbour Brewing has created a seasonal beer called The Tiki Bar. This kettle sour was dry hopped and blended with pineapple juice to give a big, fruit explosion of flavour. From the 650ml bottle this beer pours a hazy amber colour with one finger of head that settles leaving no trace behind on the glass. Smelling the beer it is sharp with acidity and a hoppy, tropical fruit tone. The pineapple comes through along side a lemon, passion fruit and guava like aroma. Tasting the beer it is sour up front but that mellows early on. The initial hit of acidity is followed by a mellow sweetness and pineapple flavour that cuts through nicely. For putting a “Butt Load”” of pineapple into this beer the fruit flavour isn’t way over the top but does add a nice, fruit forward kick to a pleasant sour ale.
