From the SOPP: Mälli sour

My first beer at the SOPP was pointed out to me by Pekka and Tomi. To be honest I have never heard of the Sonnisaari Panimo, but with all what I have going on that doesn't mean anything. It was my first sour beer since 12 years, the last one was a Berliner Weiße in Berlin. 

As I couldn't pour the beer on my own I had to chance on check for head retention. I noticed the sourness already in the smell, and then also on the tongue. But besides the overwhelming sourness there was only dryness at the end site. The sourness attacks fast and also vanishes fast. I noticed no hops, perhaps they got masked by the sourness? I also thought that there could be a little more body in it, mouthfullness was kind of empty. 

Seems like sour beers are the new challenge for me as I couldn't really detect any malty character or hops. Everything was just masked.
