Brasserie Artisanale Gallicus

Elixir is a sophisticated Brett Beer that showcases the vibrant intersection of mixed fermentation and viticulture. The use of Frontenac Noir grape pomace imparts deep notes of black cherry and forest berries, which meld seamlessly with the rustic, earthy funk of the Brettanomyces. Six months of maturation in American oak introduces a delicate structural tannin and a whisper of vanilla, tempering the beer's bright, vinous character. It pours with a beautiful garnet hue and offers a remarkably dry, crisp finish. This complex wild ale balances fruit-forward intensity with a refined wood character and a lively, effervescent mouthfeel.

Appearance. Deep garnet to ruby (SRM 18–24). Hazy clarity with a pinkish-white head that shows moderate retention and light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity. Pronounced barnyard funk, wet hay, and leather from Brettanomyces. Significant dark fruit character including black cherry and plum from the Frontenac Noir grapes, complemented by subtle vanilla and toasted wood notes from American oak.

Taste. Initial impression of tart dark berries and blackberry. Mid-palate reveals earthy, spicy funk and a light, non-lactic acidity. Extremely dry and highly attenuated finish with very low hop bitterness. Light tannins from the grape marc and American oak provide structure, leading to a lingering, vinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a crisp, thin texture due to high attenuation. High carbonation provides a lively prickle on the tongue. Minimal alcohol warmth and a slight tannic astringency that enhances the dry finish.
