de Garde Brewing The Purple
Other Styles 7 º
This Brett Beer presents an intense sensory exploration. The Purple is defined by a massive infusion of black and red raspberries, dominating the profile with jammy depth and bright tartness. Aging in oak wine barrels introduces structured tannins and a subtle vinous character that complements the rustic, earthy funk of the Brettanomyces. Expect a complex interplay of berry skins and floral esters against a backdrop of toasted oak. Effervescent and remarkably dry, it showcases a sophisticated balance between vibrant fruit and a wild, barnyard-inflected finish that lingers with a clean, puckering acidity and refined woody complexity.
Appearance. Deep purple to magenta with a vibrant, pink-hued head of moderate retention. Slight haze is present, though the color remains saturated and jewel-like.
Aroma. High intensity of fresh and jammy raspberries. Beneath the fruit lies a complex Brett character featuring notes of wet hay, leather, and a floral quality. Subtle toasted oak and red wine esters provide a sophisticated, woody backdrop.
Taste. Initial burst of tart red and black raspberries. The fruit is followed by a dry, rustic Brett funk—earthy and slightly spicy. Malt is minimal, allowing the wine-like tannins from the oak barrels to provide structure. Very low bitterness; the finish is bone-dry, crisp, and slightly acidic with a long fruit-skin aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, lively carbonation. Subtle tannic astringency from the oak and fruit skins adds texture. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated.
