A vibrant collaboration between Brouwerij LOST and Folkingebrew, this Smoothie Sour presents a luscious, dessert-inspired sensory experience. The profile is anchored by a massive fruit infusion of deep blueberries and tart cherries, creating a complex berry medley. A subtle hint of banana provides a rounded, creamy backbone that softens the sharp acidity typical of a Wild Specialty Beer. Expect a decadent, fluff-like texture that mimics a fruit purée, balanced by a bright, fermented tang. The result is a bold, opaque pour where the natural tannins of the fruit skins harmonize with a refreshing, lactic-forward sourness.
Appearance.Opaque, thick, and viscous, resembling a dense fruit smoothie (30+ SRM). The color is a deep, saturated violet-magenta with a vibrant, pink-tinted head that shows moderate to poor retention and heavy lacing due to fruit solids.
Aroma.High intensity aromatics dominated by fresh blueberry skins and bright, acidic red cherries. A secondary layer of ripe banana adds a soft, tropical sweetness. Beneath the fruit, light lactic tartness and a clean, wild fermentation character provide a crisp, refreshing edge without significant hop or malt presence.
Taste.The initial impression is a burst of jammy blueberry and tart cherry juice. The malt flavor is mostly obscured by the heavy fruit presence, though a faint bready sweetness persists. The banana contributes a mellowing, creamy flavor that bridges the gap between the fruit's natural acidity and a light, lingering sweetness. Bitterness is negligible, with the finish defined by a clean, fruity sourness and no hop flavor.
Mouthfeel.Full-bodied and creamy with a thick, pulpy texture that coats the palate. Carbonation is moderate, providing enough lift to prevent the beer from feeling overly heavy. Alcohol warmth is minimal, focusing instead on the luscious, smoothie-like consistency and slight fruit-skin astringency.
