Northern Monk — Patrons Project 15.03: Farewell Tangerina
Tangerine Sour Ale
FOR THE SECOND IN OUR SERIES OF PATRONS COLLABORATIONS WITH LUCY KETCHIN, WE SHOWCASE THE FRUIT THAT LUCY HERSELF WAS MOST EAGER FOR US TO WORK WITH; TANGERINE.
Lucy wanted us to put together a beer with that really distinct tangerine ‘tang’ up front, backed up with a juicy finish so that is exactly what we set out to do. We put together a grist of pilsner malt alongside rounding flaked oats for body. The wort was then kettle-soured over night down to a tart but balanced 3.6pH. We hopped both in whirlpool and dry hopped with El Dorado, a US hop with a soft citrus profile perfectly matched to our chosen fruit.
The recipe we have created includes additions of lactose, plus a touch of vanilla for sweetness. Finally, the tangerines which were pureed and added at the back end of fermentation at a rate of 80g/L
