Sour Suzy

Sour Suzy — Session Sour Ale — LERVIG

Sour Suzy is the Session Sour Ale by LERVIG, a craft brewery from Stavanger, Norway. A refreshing session beer inspired by a classic German style and, thanks to the sour mashing technique, it is delicately sour and refreshing. No bitterness and an almost zero hop profile. Sour Suzy is not the typical aperitif beer but offers something more unique and intriguing: it drinks easily like a glass of lemonade and perhaps quenches thirst better than water itself.

Sour Mashing: the technique that makes the difference

Sour mashing is a traditional acidification technique: the wort is left to ferment with natural lactic bacteria before boiling, developing a delicate and clean acidity. Unlike spontaneously fermented sour beers, sour mashing produces a more controlled and predictable acidity — fresh, never aggressive.
