Cas Cerveser Cor de Cirera
Wood-Aged Beer 6.9 º
This sophisticated Straight Sour Beer showcases a masterful fusion of sharp lactic acidity and deep fruit complexity. Aged for one year in French oak red wine barrels, it is transformed by a massive addition of Son Puig cherries, which impart a vibrant ruby hue and layered stone fruit character. The extended maturation introduces a refined vinous quality, echoing the red wine previously held in the wood, while the base beer’s crackery malt profile provides a slender but sturdy foundation. The result is a crisp, celebratory ale where the collaborative expertise of Cas Cerveser and the Son Puig winery creates a lingering, elegantly tart finish.
Appearance. Deep ruby to garnet with brilliant clarity, though a slight haze from fruit pectins may be present; large, pink-tinted head with poor retention; highly effervescent.
Aroma. High intensity of sharply sour lactic acid and fresh tart cherries. Substantial vinous character reminiscent of red wine accompanies subtle toasted oak and vanilla notes from the French oak barrels. Low bready malt aroma is tucked beneath the acidity. No hop aroma.
Taste. Initial impression is a bold, clean lactic sourness followed immediately by rich cherry flavor and tart fruit esters. Low bready and crackery malt notes provide a light structural base. Hop bitterness is undetectable. The mid-palate features red wine tannins and a dry, wood-influenced character. Finishes very dry and crisp with a lingering acidity and tart cherry skin aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, effervescent carbonation. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is noticeable. Includes a slight tannic astringency from the fruit skins and one year of barrel aging. No creaminess.
