This Wild Specialty Beer presents a vibrant marriage of modern hop innovation and tart fermentation. The inclusion of lychee provides an exotic, floral sweetness that melds seamlessly with the tropical fruit-forward profile enhanced by the addition of Phantasm. A base of doughy malts supports the bright acidity, while the Sour IPA framework introduces a delicate hop bitterness that balances the juicy fruit character. Expect a refreshing interplay between the mouth-watering tartness of the fermentation and the lush, white grape and citrus aromatics characteristic of the Phantasm addition, resulting in a complex, thirst-quenching experience with a crisp finish.
Appearance.Pale gold (SRM 4-6) with a persistent, creamy white head that leaves light lacing. Hazy appearance with a vibrant, glowing quality.
Aroma.High intensity with a bouquet of exotic lychee and white grape, underscored by tropical notes of passion fruit and grapefruit from the Phantasm-enhanced hop profile. A clean, sharp lactic acidity provides a bright backdrop, while low doughy malt notes remain in the background.
Taste.The palate opens with a refreshing, sharp lactic tartness that immediately transitions into a lush explosion of juicy lychee and tropical fruit flavors. Hop bitterness is present but restrained, providing a structural counterpoint to the sweetness. Malt flavors are minimal, offering a slight cracker-like support. The finish is crisp and dry with a lingering floral and citrus aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that enhances the perceived acidity. A very subtle alcohol warmth is well-integrated. Smooth texture with a minor, clean astringency on the finish.
