Ka 20/23 is a refined Spontaneous Ale drawn from a perpetua system, reflecting three years of slow maturation from its 2020 coolship origins. It presents a sophisticated sensory profile where aged complexity meets the brewery's goal of approachable consumption. The aroma is dominated by rustic Brettanomyces character—think sun-dried hay and aged leather—intertwined with bruised apricot and zesty lemon peel. On the palate, it is remarkably dry and crisp, showcasing a harmonious blend of earthy funk and stone fruit esters. Despite its strength, this Brett Beer remains nimble with a sparkling effervescence and a clean, bone-dry finish that invites another sip.
Appearance.Deep gold to light amber (SRM 6–9) with a slight, persistent haze. Pours with a dense, white head that exhibits moderate retention and fine lacing.
Aroma.High intensity featuring a complex bouquet of funky Brettanomyces, specifically wet hay, horse blanket, and earthy soil. These rustic notes are balanced by vibrant fruity esters of dried apricot, overripe peach, and a hint of citrus zest.
Taste.Initial impression is bone-dry and highly attenuated. Flavors of rustic grain and sourdough provide a base for layers of wild funk, dried herbs, and a subtle, refreshing lemon-like acidity. Hop bitterness is low, allowing the mineral-like finish and lingering earthy fruitiness to dominate.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with high, prickly carbonation that enhances the perceived dryness. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, though the beer retains a refreshing, crisp texture without any noticeable astringency.
