Fruited Sour builds on a sour beer base with the addition of fruit to shape aroma, flavour, and balance. The acidity remains central, with fruit used to complement or soften sharpness rather than replace it. These beers typically retain a clear, pourable structure and moderate body, allowing both fermentation character and fruit expression to come through without the thickness or lactose-driven softness found in other modern sour variants. Fruited Sour sits at the intersection of refreshment and flavour, where fruit enhances the sour profile rather than overwhelming it.
