Fruit Beer 6 º

Canton Brasse

Grand Duc presents as a vibrant and refreshing Sour Wheat Beer, defined by an exuberant addition of fresh raspberries and tart cherries. The sensory experience is dominated by the bright, jammy essence of red berries, balanced against a clean, lactic acidity. The wheat base provides a soft, grainy foundation that anchors the intense fruit profile without overshadowing it. Aromas of freshly crushed fruit lead into a palate where the natural tartness of the cherries and the floral top notes of raspberries create a complex, multi-layered acidity. It finishes crisp and bone-dry, leaving a lingering, mouth-watering impression of wild berry brambles.

Appearance. Vibrant ruby-red with pinkish hues; pours with a frothy, pale-pink head with moderate retention and light lacing; slightly hazy appearance typical of wheat-based fruit beers.

Aroma. High intensity aroma of fresh raspberries and tart cherries. A clean, sharp lactic acidity is present, complemented by a light, bready wheat malt character. Low to no hop aroma and no fermentation-derived phenols, keeping the focus entirely on the fruit esters and acidic profile.

Taste. Immediate, sharp tartness from the fruit and lactic fermentation. Prominent flavors of ripe raspberry and sour cherry dominate the palate. The malt is understated, providing a low crackery sweetness that quickly yields to the fruit. Bitterness is non-existent. The finish is remarkably dry and crisp, with a lingering, acidic fruit-skin aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, prickly carbonation that accentuates the tartness. Low alcohol warmth. Refreshing and crisp on the tongue with no significant astringency, despite the heavy fruit addition.
