Vertere Fusca is brewed using a selection of malts, which includes Pilsner, Pale 2 Row, Pelton, Wheat Malt, Oats, and Maris Otter, while the hop bill includes Calista and Saaz. What makes Vertere Fusca a sour blonde? Everyoneā€™s favourite: Lactobacillus.

Vertere Fusca Aroma and Taste

Vertere Fusca poured out a light golden straw colour with pretty much next to no head on top of it ā€“ there was some life in the body but the only couple of bubbles on top popped and faded away. Unsurprisingly, Vertere Fusca had a sour nose to it that was punchy and in-your-face ā€“ something that I never thought Vertere were really capable of doing. The hops brought a light floral aroma to the sourness with just a hint of light creaminess from the body coming through too once Vertere Fusca had warmed up somewhat.

The body packed a sour punch from the get-go ā€“ no light or gentle sourness from this beer! The sourness lingers on the palate and is unashamedly the base flavour for Vertere Fusca with just a light dusting of floral hoppiness coming through the beer. Vertere Fusca had some light malt flavours coming through too ā€“ a touch of creaminess, a touch of sweet breadiness, but they couldnā€™t really cut completely through the sourness enough to take control. If you hadnā€™t had guessed by now, the aftertaste was also one of sourness.
