The Freedom Sour series achieves its tartness through kettle souring — a controlled souring process that takes place in the kettle before the boil, yielding a clean, predictable acidity without the wild-fermentation funk of traditional sour ales. Each beer in the variety pack is then blended with real fruit juice concentrate, producing vivid colors and bold fruit character while keeping the body light and sessionable at just 4.5% ABV and 120 calories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFreedom of Speach (Peach):\u003c\/strong\u003e Ripe stone fruit aroma gives way to juicy peach flavor with a naturally tart finish.

X Hero is built on a high-gravity grain bill designed to deliver intense fruit character while keeping the body smooth rather than syrupy. A notable production choice is the use of centrifuging—not to clarify the beer, but to separate excess hop material that can introduce harsh astringency or burn in other hazy IPAs at this ABV range. The result is a restrained bitterness and a finish that drinks cleaner than the 10% would suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ripe apricots lead the nose, followed by tangerine zest and a candied orange sweetness.
