Brasserie Malacuria

Monkey Affair is a vibrant Wild Specialty Beer that masterfully balances tropical fruit intensity with the rustic complexity of wild fermentation. Highlighting an expressive addition of mango and passion fruit, the sensory profile is dominated by juicy stone fruit and sharp tropical citrus. These elements are intricately woven into a web of funky Brettanomyces character and a firm lactic acidity. The mouthfeel is effervescent and exceptionally dry, as the wild yeast consumes the fruit sugars, leaving behind an aromatic essence of sun-ripened fruit and earthy meadow hay. It is a refreshing, sophisticated exploration of acidity and exotic fruit integration.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange (SRM 6-8); moderate white head with fair to poor retention; persistent hazy clarity due to fruit addition and yeast suspension.

Aroma. High intensity of tropical fruit, specifically ripe mango and tart passion fruit; secondary notes of earthy funk, leather, and lemon zest; minimal malt presence; no hop aroma.

Taste. Initial burst of tart passion fruit and mango skin; assertive but clean lactic sourness; very low malt flavor, appearing as a thin cracker-like backdrop; hop bitterness is nearly absent; bone-dry finish with a lingering tropical ester and funky, hay-like aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body; high carbonation providing a prickly, effervescent sensation; low alcohol warmth; slight fruit-derived tannic astringency that enhances the dry finish.
