This Wild Specialty Beer presents a sophisticated interplay between floral elegance and deep stone fruit. A meticulous blend of red and golden ales aged in oak wine barrels and foudres provides a complex foundation of soft tannins and toasted wood. The infusion of Oregon-grown Bing and Montmorency cherries delivers a bright, tart acidity and rich fruit depth, while dried rose petals introduce a delicate, perfumed aromatic layer. The result is a vibrant sensory journey where the funky, lactic tang of the wild fermentation seamlessly integrates with the lush cherry flesh and ethereal floral notes, finishing with a crisp, vinous dry edge.
Appearance.Brilliant deep ruby to garnet hue; forms a modest, pink-tinted head with fair retention that fades to a persistent ring; clarity is high despite the heavy fruit addition.
Aroma.High intensity; prominent tart cherry notes of Bing and Montmorency varieties dominate, supported by a distinct floral perfume of dried rose petals. Moderate lactic sourness and a hint of wild funk mingle with subtle toasted oak, vanilla, and a faint red wine vinous character.
Taste.Sharp, clean lactic acidity immediately hits the palate, followed by the rich, slightly sweet-tart flavor of ripe cherries. The middle presents a floral rose character and light bready malt. Low hop bitterness allows the acidity to drive the balance. The finish is dry and lingering, showcasing oak tannins and a whisper of cherry skin.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a prickly, high carbonation that enhances the perceived acidity. A slight tannic astringency from the cherry skins and oak aging provides structure without being harsh. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated.
