The ATF Tangy Fruit is a great refreshing beer bursting with tangy citrus and tropical fruit aromas.
Like wine, this beer uses acidity to balance the malt sweetness instead of bitterness. The acidity has a pleasant citrus quality very similar to fresh lemons/lemonade, which provides the beer with a light body making it refreshing and very drinkable.
The ATF Tangy Fruit's acidity is provided by WildBrew Philly Sour yeast, a unique yeast that primarily produces lactic acid during the initial phase of fermentation before switching over to ethanol production.
Philly Sour takes longer than most yeasts to begin and complete fermentation so it is important to pitch the right amount of yeast. Yeast is not included in the kit.
