Brasserie Bipil - Espelette

This Wild Specialty Beer offers a vibrant sensory journey led by the intense, natural essence of ripe raspberries. The pour reveals a delicate pink hue and a lively effervescence. On the nose, sharp lactic tartness mingles with earthy, rustic funk and a dominant bouquet of fresh-picked berries. The palate follows with a crisp, acidic snap, where the sweetness of the fruit has been fully fermented into a bone-dry finish. Subtle notes of cracked wheat and hay provide a soft foundation for the bright, brambly fruit character, resulting in a refreshing and complex sour ale with a lingering, puckering fruit finish.

Appearance. Deep pink to light reddish hue with a slight haze. Forms a frothy, pale pink head with moderate retention and minimal lacing.

Aroma. High intensity of fresh raspberry aromatics. Complemented by a moderate wild character featuring earthy funk, hay, and a sharp lactic acidity. Very low floral hop notes and a neutral, crackery malt background.

Taste. Immediate sharp acidity followed by intense raspberry flavors. Malt is low, providing a light bready or wheaty support. Hop bitterness is nearly absent, allowing the fruit’s natural tartness to drive the balance. Finishes bone-dry with a lingering berry skin tannin and clean acidity.

Mouthfeel. Light body with high carbonation that prickles the tongue. Very low alcohol warmth. A slight, pleasant tannic astringency from the fruit enhances the dry perception.
