Arpus Mango X Grape X Pineapple X Banana X Ice Cream Smoothie Sour Ale

Overview

This Latvian smoothie sour stacks tropical fruit upon fruit, finished with a touch of vanilla ice cream. At 4.5%, it's approachable, but the flavour intensity leaves no doubt: Ārpus brews outside the box.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, expect ripe mango and pineapple, followed by grape and banana. The palate is thick and creamy, like drinking a tropical milkshake. Light acidity balances the sweetness, while vanilla notes soften the finish. The aftertaste lingers with fruit and a hint of crème.

Brewery

Ārpus Brewing Co. from Latvia is the #1 brewery in the Baltic States on Untappd. They brew what they love: hop-forward ales, fruity sours, and bold stouts, all beyond the mainstream.

Serving

Serve chilled (4-6°C) in a tulip glass. Pairs well with fresh fruit, yoghurt desserts, or cheesecake with berries.
