The Rascals Brewery X Mad Scientist Loco Sour epitomises the spirit of collaboration and innovation that drives the modern craft beer Ireland scene. This unique creation results from a partnership with Budapest's Mad Scientist, a brewery celebrated for its fearless experimentation and commitment to the craft. Together, they've created a craft beer that pushes the boundaries of flavour and style.
Using exotic ingredients like mango, passionfruit, and sea buckthorn, the Loco Sour offers an unforgettable tasting experience. The sea buckthorn, with its intense vitamin C content and sharp, tangy flavour, perfectly balances the lush sweetness of tropical fruits, creating a beer that's both complex and immensely drinkable.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: Hazy golden with a frothy white head.
- Aroma: Bursting with tropical scents of mango and passionfruit, accompanied by a citrusy tang.
- Flavour: Sweet tropical fruits upfront, followed by a sharp, refreshing tartness from the sea buckthorn.
- Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with a smooth, creamy texture, making it exceptionally crushable.
The tropical and tart profile of Loco Sour pairs wonderfully with seafood, particularly grilled fish or shrimp tacos, enhancing the natural flavours with its fruity zest. It also complements spicy foods, such as Thai or Indian curries, where its sour notes cut through the spice and refresh the palate. For a cheese pairing, opt for soft, creamy cheeses like goat cheese, which will balance the beer's acidity.
