This Wild Specialty Beer presents a vibrant, tropical-citrus profile driven by the inclusion of Calamansi and yuzu. These exotic fruits offer a sharp, zesty punch of lime and bitter orange that cuts through the plush, nectar-like sweetness of peach. At 20 BLG, the beer possesses a dense, smoothie-like texture that balances the assertive lactic acidity and wild fermentation character. The sensory experience is dominated by bright, multi-dimensional fruit layers, where the sharp acidity of the citrus creates a refreshing counterpoint to the soft, velvety stone fruit finish, resulting in a complex and deeply aromatic sour ale with an intense fruit-forward personality.
