Arizona Wilderness Brewing’s Cactus Juice Prickly Pear Sour Beer hails from Gilbert, Arizona, where the brewery is known for its innovative and local ingredient-driven brews. This sour beer stands out with its bright pink hue and a refreshing tartness that is characteristic of the prickly pear fruit used in its creation. The beer features a unique blend of flavors with notes of fruity sweetness from the prickly pear and a gentle sourness that balances the overall profile.
Crafted with a base of pale malt and wheat, this beer is brewed with real prickly pear juice, which imparts its vibrant color and distinctive flavor. The addition of lactobacillus bacteria during fermentation creates a lively, tangy character that defines the sour ale experience.
At 4.5% ABV, Cactus Juice is both sessionable and invigorating. It’s best enjoyed chilled in a chilled glass to fully appreciate its fruity and sour notes. Whether sipped on a hot summer day or paired with light dishes, it offers a refreshing and distinctive taste of the Arizona desert landscape.
