Common descriptors are
What do you get when you mix the juicy sweetness of lychee with a light sour Felix base and top it off with the warmth of just a hint of cinnamon? A really good sour beer. Our Tart Lychee, to be exact, and it's a cult favorite for good reason. Originally released in 2012 we figured 2020 could use a bit of a win so why not re-release a new and improved version? We like to think of this as the Goldilocks of sours: not too sour but not too sweet, either. Even if you've avoided sour beers in the past, don't be surprised if the balanced sweetness of Tart Lychee wins you over.
