This vibrant Wild Specialty Beer captures a nostalgic, candy-shop essence through a complex smoothie-inspired profile. Dominated by an explosive medley of strawberry and grape, the aroma and flavor mimic a handful of Skittles candies. Bright citrus notes of orange, lemon, and lime provide a zesty counterpoint to the sugary core. The wild fermentation provides a foundational lactic acidity that cuts through the dense fruit puree, preventing the sweetness from becoming cloying. A creamy, thick texture underscores the smoothie intent, while the sharp tartness from the mixed fruits provides a refreshing edge. The result is a bold, multi-layered experience where playful confectionery sweetness meets a sophisticated, tart backbone.

Appearance. Opaque and saturated reddish-magenta hue; pours with a dense, pinkish-tinted head that shows moderate to poor retention and leaves a thick, pulpy lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity of sweet strawberry and concord grape candy; secondary notes of fresh lime zest and orange juice are prominent. A clean, lactic sourness is present, with very low bready malt and no detectable hop character.

Taste. Initial impression is an intense burst of mixed fruit candy and sugary Skittles. A sharp, citric acidity from lemon and lime balances the heavy strawberry and grape puree. The fermentation character is primarily lactic and tart, with negligible hop bitterness and no hop flavor. The finish is long and fruit-forward, leaving a lingering impression of fruit leather and citrus zest.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a thick, smoothie-like viscosity; moderate carbonation provides a necessary lift to the heavy texture. Very low alcohol warmth and a notable creaminess with no astringency.
