This beer belongs to Sour IPA style and it was brewed by the use of kettle souring. The base of Raketa Sour is the same as of Zlata Raketa, but it is sour. To enhance the hop aroma, we added Enigma hop to the standard hops used in Zlata Raketa. Thanks to the hop composition, this beer has citrusy and fruit aroma, the taste is refreshingly sour, but still very full and strong.
