Art + Science Bird Brain Perry
Bird Brain Perry captures the wild elegance of ancient pear trees from the Roth Family Farm, offering a sophisticated sensory profile shaped by fifteen months of barrel maturation. The nose is a delicate tapestry of ripe pear, floral blossoms, and soft vanillin from the oak. On the palate, the natural sweetness preserved through the traditional keeving process balances a firm, tannic structure typical of heritage fruit. Layers of dried spice and a subtle vinous funk emerge from the long barrel fermentation, leading to a lingering, dry finish that highlights the complex character of the pectic substances and heritage pears.
Appearance. Pale gold to soft straw color (SRM 3-5). Generally clear, though natural pectic substances from the keeving process may create a unique, viscous visual texture. Low to no head retention with minimal lacing, typical of traditional perry.
Aroma. High intensity aromatics of fresh and bruised pear, white flowers, and honey. Distinctive barrel character provides notes of toasted oak and clove. A clean fermentation with very low esters and a hint of wild, earthy funk from the extended fifteen-month aging period.
Taste. Initial impression is of succulent pear nectar and mild residual sweetness. Mid-palate reveals moderate acidity and significant tannin-driven bitterness from the ancient trees. The finish is long and dry, with lingering notes of pear skin and seasoned wood, showing great complexity and no harshness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a rounded, almost creamy texture due to the pectic keeving process. Carbonation is low to moderate. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth. Significant astringency from the heritage pear tannins provides a structural grip.
