Bullhouse Brew Co

This Wild Specialty Beer delivers a nostalgic sensory experience inspired by rhubarb and custard sweets. The aroma leads with sharp, earthy rhubarb and a comforting, aromatic blanket of real vanilla pods. On the palate, Bullhouse Brew Co’s house Lactobacillus strain provides a clean, zippy lactic acidity that highlights the distinctive tartness of the real rhubarb. Despite the custard theme, the beer avoids being cloying or overly thick, maintaining a refreshing profile where the vanilla provides a perceived creamy sweetness without heavy residual sugar weight. The result is a vibrant, fruit-forward ale with a dry, tangy finish that captures the essence of the classic confectionery.

Appearance. Pours a hazy, pale straw with soft pinkish-salmon hues derived from the rhubarb. The head is white and frothy with moderate retention, leaving delicate lacing as it recedes.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics of freshly sliced, earthy rhubarb intertwine with a prominent, sweet-scented floral vanilla character. A clean, sharp lactic sourness is evident, supported by subtle notes of cracker-like malt and very low ester profile from the base fermentation.

Taste. Initial impression is a brisk, puckering tartness followed immediately by the earthy, vegetal-fruit character of rhubarb. Vanilla pods provide a smooth, custard-like flavor mid-palate, bridging the gap between sourness and fruit. Very low bitterness allows the acidity to drive the balance. Finishes dry and crisp with a lingering tang of rhubarb skin.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a surprisingly light, crisp texture for the ABV. Moderate-high carbonation provides a lively prickle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is well-integrated and subtle, with no significant astringency despite the rhubarb addition.
