Cervesa Màger’s WILD BEATS - SPON is a sophisticated Wild Ale that marries spontaneous fermentation with the vibrant essence of natural raspberries. Barrel aging lends a subtle structural depth to a profile dominated by bright, tart red fruit and the rustic complexities of Brettanomyces. Expect a marriage of barnyard funk, wet hay, and earthy undertones that complement the intense berry character. The spontaneous yeast capture provides a unique terroir, resulting in a bone-dry finish with a lingering fruity acidity. This 7% ABV Brett Beer showcases a delicate balance between wood-derived tannins and the wild, expressive fermentation profile of a traditional spontaneous ale.
Appearance.Vibrant ruby-red to deep pink hue. Pours with a moderate pink-tinted head that shows fair retention before receding to a persistent collar; slight haze is present from the natural fruit addition and wild fermentation.
Aroma.High intensity aromatics of fresh raspberries and red currants. The spontaneous fermentation contributes a complex funk, featuring notes of leather, barnyard, and dusty hay. Subtle oak vanillins and a touch of vinous character emerge from the barrel aging, supported by a very low crackery malt backdrop.
Taste.Initial impression is a sharp, clean raspberry tartness followed by a deeply attenuated, bone-dry malt profile. The Brettanomyces character is assertive but balanced, offering earthy and stone fruit flavors. Bitterness is low, allowing the fruit acidity and wild yeast phenols to lead. The finish is crisp and very dry with a lingering berry skin astringency.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a refreshing, prickly high carbonation. A subtle alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated at 7% ABV. Very low astringency from fruit skins and barrel tannins contributes to a clean, mouth-watering sensation.
