About This Beer
Wicklow Wolf Póg Passionfruit Orange Guava Sour is a tropical and refreshing sour ale that blends juicy fruit flavour with soft acidity to create a vibrant modern beer experience within craft beer Ireland. Brewed by Wicklow Wolf Brewing Company at 5.2% ABV, this fruited sour beer takes inspiration from nostalgic 90s POG juice while delivering a balanced and highly drinkable sour ale.
The flavour profile centres around passionfruit, orange, and guava, creating layers of tropical fruit sweetness and bright citrus character. The beer opens with juicy tropical notes before finishing with a refreshing tangy edge that keeps the palate clean and lively. The acidity remains smooth and approachable rather than aggressively sour, making it suitable for both experienced sour beer fans and drinkers newer to the style.
Compared to traditional ipa beer styles, Póg Sour focuses less on bitterness and more on fruit-forward refreshment and soft acidity. It offers significantly more flavour intensity than standard lager beer while remaining lighter and brighter than richer stout beer or red ale beer styles. The result is a refreshing and highly approachable tropical sour beer ideal for warm weather and relaxed drinking occasions.
Released as part of Wicklow Wolf’s Endangered Species series, this beer demonstrates the brewery’s commitment to creativity and modern brewing techniques while maintaining balance and drinkability.
