Cloudwater Brew Co. Your Original Face
Saison 5.9 º
Your Original Face reimagines the Belgian Golden Strong Ale through a refined, barrel-aged lens. This Biere Brut-inspired creation spent three years in a single barrel, developing a sophisticated white grape aroma and subtle wine-like tannic structure. The addition of sour cherries and raspberries provides a vibrant, juicy fruit character reminiscent of a fresh Beaujolais. Effervescent and highly attenuated, it showcases a delicate interplay between soft pome fruit esters and bright red fruit acidity. The finish is remarkably dry and clean, accentuating a light, sparkling body that masks its complexity behind a refreshing, vinous elegance.
Appearance. A brilliant, pale gold core with vibrant pink and ruby highlights from the fruit additions. It displays a massive, effervescent, long-lasting white head with a faint rose tint, leaving characteristic Belgian lace on the glass as it fades.
Aroma. High intensity with a complex bouquet of fresh raspberries and tart cherries layered over pear and white grape esters. Subtle herbal hop notes and a soft, peppery phenol character emerge from the Belgian yeast, while a delicate, vinous oak presence provides a refined backdrop.
Taste. Initial impressions of juicy raspberries and sour cherries lead into a crisp, pome-fruit ester profile. A nearly neutral, slightly grainy malt base supports moderate herbal hop flavors. The barrel rest contributes a subtle, wine-like tannic structure and a hint of white grape. It features a medium bitterness that is amplified by an exceptionally dry, sparkling finish, leaving a lingering, clean fruit tartness.
Mouthfeel. Light-bodied and exceptionally effervescent, with a prickly carbonation that enhances its refreshing qualities. A subtle, wine-like tannic astringency adds structure without harshness. Alcohol warmth is minimal, contributing to a clean, highly attenuated mouthfeel.
