Hard Road Brewing Smoochy Kiss

Pay a visit to Hard Road's Bayswater home and there's a good chance you'll find more than one fruity sour on tap or in the fridges. The one that seems to have found most favour, however, is Smoochy Kiss, brewed with strawberry and rhubarb.

It pours with the faintest of blush hues, which is a handy precursor for how the fruit presents: everything about the beer is subtle. Essentially, it's a refreshing Berliner weisse with a dash of berry sweetness and a cleansing rather than overly sour finish.
