Brekeriet Phaos
Fruit Lambic 3.5 º
Brekeriet Phaos presents a complex, session-strength profile defined by its eighteen-month oak maturation and vibrant botanical additions. The interplay between the tart, funky house culture and the pungent, tropical acidity of sea buckthorn creates a deeply layered experience. Orange zest provides a bright, essential-oil lift that integrates seamlessly with the wood-derived tannins. Despite its low alcohol content, the lengthy aging process imparts a sophisticated depth usually reserved for stronger wild ales. This Wild Specialty Beer balances earthy fermentation character with sharp, refreshing citrus and a bone-dry finish, showcasing the mastery of organic natural fermentation and thoughtful blending.
Appearance. Pale gold with a slight orange tint (SRM 5-7). Features a thin, white head with moderate to low retention due to zest oils; clarity is slightly hazy to translucent, characteristic of a natural, unfiltered beer.
Aroma. High intensity with a complex profile of earthy barnyard funk, wet hay, and leather from wild fermentation. Distinctive sharp, tropical notes of sea buckthorn—reminiscent of passionfruit and citrus—blend with bright, oily orange zest. Subtle toasted oak and vanilla provide a background structure.
Taste. Sharp, lactic tartness is the initial impression, followed by the intense, tangy fruitiness of sea buckthorn and pithy orange peel. Very low crackery malt flavor. Hop bitterness is negligible, though orange zest and eighteen months in oak provide a delicate, balancing tannic structure. The finish is bone-dry, acidic, and exceptionally clean.
Mouthfeel. Light body with a crisp, effervescent carbonation that enhances the perceived acidity. No alcohol warmth is present. A slight, pleasant astringency from the oak and citrus zest adds structure to the otherwise lean profile.
