From the very first sip, we’re hit with a burst of vibrant hop bitterness, characteristic of a great IPA, followed by a sharp, citrusy tartness that’s signature to a sour ale. The result is an intriguing mix of flavors—citrus fruits like grapefruit and lemon combine with the sharp sour bite, while the hops add a layer of pine and tropical fruit notes. It’s a beer that keeps us guessing with every sip, offering layers of complexity and a balance that makes it easy to drink. The sourness is bold but not overwhelming, perfectly complementing the hoppy bitterness, which makes Nerd Stuff a fun and refreshing beer for those who like to explore different beer styles.
