Brasserie Atrium

Tornado is a vibrant Wild Specialty Beer that masterfully bridges the gap between assertive wild fermentation and modern hop saturation. The aroma is a complex tapestry of tropical funk, driven by a double dry hopping of Ekuanot, El Dorado, and Southern Passion. Expect vivid notes of passion fruit and lime pith intertwined with earthy barnyard undertones. On the palate, the tartness of the wild culture amplifies the pineapple and melon flavors of the El Dorado and Southern Passion hops, while Ekuanot provides a subtle herbal depth. This beer finishes bone-dry and effervescent, leaving a lingering citrus zest and a whisper of funk.

Appearance. Deep gold (SRM 5-7) with a persistent, hazy brilliance. Features a thick, frothy white head with excellent retention and intricate lacing.

Aroma. High intensity. A punchy blend of tropical fruit esters (guava, papaya) and citrus (lime) from the hops. The wild fermentation contributes moderate funky notes of wet hay and leather, perfectly integrated with the stone fruit and melon aromatics.

Taste. Initial sharp tartness leads into a rush of tropical fruit. High hop flavor featuring pineapple, watermelon, and passion fruit. Low to moderate bitterness is balanced by a lactic acidity. Finishes very dry and clean with a lingering citrus peel and earthy wild fermentation character.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, prickly carbonation. A slight hop-derived astringency is present but not harsh. Features a noticeable, well-integrated alcohol warmth that adds to the beer's structure.
