1989 Brewing Mysterious Game
Sour Ale 5 º
This Wild Specialty Beer presents a vibrant sensory journey, led by an intense infusion of cassis and mûre. The deep, jammy character of the blackcurrant and blackberry provides a sharp, tart foundation that is expertly softened by a lush, aromatic layer of vanilla. Despite the absence of lactose, the beer maintains a dessert-like profile, where the natural sugars of the forest fruits harmonize with a bright lactic acidity. The result is a complex, juice-forward experience where the earthy, tannic notes of the dark berries are smoothed over by a creamy, lingering finish of vanilla bean, creating a balanced and decadent pastry-inspired profile.
Appearance. Deep, opaque violet to dark ruby. Dense, persistent pink-tinted head with fine lacing. Opaque clarity due to heavy fruit addition and pastry-style base.
Aroma. High intensity aromatics of freshly crushed blackcurrant and ripe blackberry. Strong, sweet vanilla bean notes provide a creamy counterpoint. Subtle doughy malt and a clean, sharp lactic tartness; no hop aroma or significant wild funk.
Taste. Immediate, punchy tartness of cassis followed by the sweeter, rounder flavors of mûre. Vanilla provides a dessert-like mid-palate richness. Minimal malt presence, appearing as a slight cracker base. Bitterness is non-existent. The finish is long and fruit-centric with a lingering berry-skin tang and vanilla sweetness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body for the ABV, providing a creamy, mouth-coating texture despite the lack of lactose. Moderate carbonation. No perceptible alcohol warmth. Mild astringency from berry skins.
