What’s bitter beer?
In contrast to the bitter, hop-driven beers most individuals drink, a bitter beer tastes extra like cider or pure wine. Bitter beers use a combination of yeasts and micro organism that leads to a distinctly bitter style. Strategies range: some brewers use cultured yeasts, whereas Belgian lambic is left in open vats and depends on airborne microorganisms to ferment the beer. ‘Sours’ is a broad class and the flavors range from the salty style of gose and the sunshine sourness of a Berliner weisse to the fruitiness of a Flemish purple beer, or the bone-dry, champagne-like effervescence of Gueuze.
