Dr. Brauwolf

This Wild Specialty Beer is a complex fusion of a modern IPA’s vibrant hop profile and the sharp, refreshing acidity of a wild fermentation. Pouring with a slight haze, it leads with an aromatic punch of tropical fruit and citrus zest, characteristic of aggressive hopping, layered over a bright lactic tartness. The barrel aging adds a sophisticated dimension, introducing subtle notes of toasted oak and soft vanilla that temper the initial acidity and round out the palate. The interplay between hop bitterness and lemony sourness creates a crisp, layered experience, finishing remarkably dry with a lingering woody character and moderate alcohol warmth from its time in the wood.

Appearance. Deep gold to light amber (7-11 SRM) with a persistent slight haze. Forms a moderate, off-white head with fair retention that leaves light lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics. Prominent hop character featuring notes of grapefruit, pineapple, and mango. This is complemented by a sharp, clean lactic acidity and a subtle funky edge. Faint toasted oak and vanilla notes from the barrel aging provide a background complexity without overpowering the hops.

Taste. Immediate impact of sharp, clean acidity followed by tropical and citrus hop flavors. The bitterness is moderate but punctuated by the sourness, leading to a crisp, dry sensation. Malt is a secondary player, offering a light cracker-like backbone. The finish is very dry, showing lingering notes of lemon peel and a touch of tannic oak from the barrel.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body, feeling leaner than a standard IPA due to the wild fermentation. High carbonation provides a lively, tingly sensation. A light, pleasant astringency from the wood contact enhances the dry finish. Subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
