This Wild Specialty Beer is a vibrant, sensory-driven tribute to the iconic Scottish 'Soor Ploom' sweet. It opens with an aggressive bouquet of sharp citrus limon and juicy green plum, blending nostalgic confectionery notes with the rustic, acidic edge of a wild fermentation. The profile is defined by a bracing lactic tartness that heightens the verdant fruit character, while a subtle, crackery malt base provides just enough structure to support the zing. Refreshingly sharp and aromatically intense, it balances the candy-inspired fruitiness with a crisp, bone-dry finish, creating a puckering yet celebratory drinking experience that emphasizes bright acidity over bitterness.
Appearance.Distinctive and unconventional pale green hue (SRM 2-3 tint) with a slight haze; pours with a frothy, bright white head that shows moderate retention before receding to a thin collar.
Aroma.High intensity; dominant sharp lactic sourness and bright lemon zest. Pronounced notes of tart green plum and sugary confectionery. Very low doughy malt and a faint, earthy wild yeast funk in the background.
Taste.Initial impression is sharply acidic with a lemon-like citrus limon punch. Strong flavors of unripe green plum and sour candy follow. Malt flavor is low and neutral, offering a brief crackery note before being overtaken by the acidity. Hop bitterness is not perceived, and the finish is very clean, dry, and lingering with a tart fruit skin character.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with high, prickly carbonation that accentuates the acidic zing. Very low alcohol warmth. A light, refreshing astringency from the fruit and citrus notes makes the beer feel exceptionally dry.
