A Note on This Beer
Sour lovin’ Tavour members score the German brewed Freigeist’s Rhubarb Gose with an applaudable 4.08 rating. Rhubarb in a Sour Ale, what could be more mouthwatering? How about baking in the flavors of pie?! That’s the amazing idea that Birrificio Italiano had after tasting Freigeist’s Rhubarb, they asked to collaborate on Mamma Mia Rhubarb Pie Sour Ale.
Mamma Mia “is a full on punch of rhubarb-pie filling. But, the true mark of a great beer is in the flavour and boy does this beer deliver," declares the popular beer blog The Wet Hop who featured it as their Beer Of The Week.
Inhale warm coriander aromatics while wild blueberry and rhubarb tartness fill the palate -- reaching a satisfying conclusion with a sweet and supportive streusel-like freshly baked pie crust finish.
Compared to one of the top rated sours in the world, @Snowwhyte on Untappd calls Mamma Mia “A more approachable Duchess.” And she’s right, its sweet desserty fruit crumble notes really balance out its tart rhubarb filling. Mamma Mia that’s a rhubarb pie in a glass!
Best enjoyed in a snifter glass at 50-55 degrees Fahrenheit
