Outer Range Brewing 'Summit Swizzle' Tiki Sour Ale Beer, Colorado

Outer Range Brewing 'Summit Swizzle' Tiki Sour Ale takes the exuberant fruit and spice profile of tiki drinks and translates it into a bright, refreshing sour ale. Pineapple, banana, and orange build a juicy tropical core, while coconut adds richness and cherry brings another layer of ripe fruit. A measured addition of cardamom introduces aromatic spice, giving the beer extra dimension against its lively tartness. At 6% ABV, Summit Swizzle balances generous fruit character with a crisp sour edge for a playful, expressive beer inspired by island flavors and brewed in the Colorado mountains.

The palate brings these flavors together against refreshing sourness, creating a lively balance of juicy fruit, creamy tropical character, spice, and bright acidity.

Serving Suggestions:

Summit Swizzle's combination of tropical fruit, tart acidity, and aromatic cardamom makes it particularly well suited to spicy and richly seasoned foods.

It also works well on its own as a bright, cocktail-inspired sour ale.
