Samuel Adams Kosmic Sour is a tart and wild ale that’s light-bodied and crisp with subtle cereal notes. It’s a dark golden beer that offers complex flavors including strong red fruit notes upfront, balanced by sour and sweet pale malts. Kosmic Sour is blended with a funky Belgian beer called Kosmic Mother Funk (KMF), an ale with spontaneous fermentation that’s been aged for two years in Hungarian oak barrels called foeders. Wild yeasts in these barrels impart a unique, fruity, funky character on the beer for a slightly tart and mostly dry finish. Through the extensive research and development of Kosmic Sour, multiple variations of this beer have been featured in our Boston Brewery Tap Room where it consistently ranks in the top five of weekly sales. Based on this success and the growth of the style, we’re thrilled to expand the offering nationwide for the first time ever with this seasonal limited release. Kosmic Sour complements both sweet and savory flavors with its complex fruity and tart character. Pair it with marinated meats such as chicken or flank steak, or even a bitter arugula salad topped with grilled chicken, where the funky notes of Kosmic Sour will add a layer of depth to the dish. For a twist, try Kosmic Sour with a salted caramel chocolate torte.
