Melburnians might still be waiting to enjoy the city’s beer gardens once more but, if scenes from the weekend are anything to go by, park beers are very much the order of the day. And Temple Brewing’s spring seasonal release – a sour with generous dry-hopping – is designed with those situations very much in mind.
That dry-hopping features Trident, a hop blend out of America made up of three different hops grown in the Pacific Northwest. It’s a fitting blend for a kettle sour too, as it’s one that pushes tropical fruit flavours without the need to actually add fruit. In the case of the crystal clear and light orange Trident, passionfruit is particularly pronounced and is joined by mango and pineapple which, combined with the beer’s tart edge and zesty finish, makes it a serious thirst-quencher.
Gather your two permitted households together, Melbourne, and enjoy your park beers.
