Chien Bleu

Chien Bleu Arya is a vibrant Wild Specialty Beer that marries the sharp, clean acidity of a kettle sour with the lush, sun-ripened character of yellow nectarines. The aroma is led by bright stone fruit and a complex, botanical infusion of hyssop, which contributes subtle notes of mint and earthy anise. On the palate, the tartness of the nectarines is balanced by an herbal depth, leading into a bone-dry, effervescent finish. This medium-light bodied ale showcases a delicate interplay between fruit esters and botanical complexity, offering a refreshing and multifaceted sensory experience.

Appearance. Pours a glowing golden-orange (6-8 SRM) with a slight haze; features a thin white head with moderate retention and minimal lacing.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant notes of fresh yellow nectarines and stone fruit esters are layered with a distinct herbal profile of mint, anise, and wildflowers from the hyssop infusion; clean lactic acidity and a faint crackery malt backbone are present.

Taste. Initial impact of sharp, clean lactic sourness followed by succulent nectarine flavors and a complex herbal mid-palate featuring minty and woody hyssop notes; finishes very dry and crisp with a lingering fruit-skin tartness and low hop bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, effervescent carbonation; crisp and refreshing with a light alcohol warmth and no noticeable astringency.
