This Wild Specialty Beer is a decadent, dessert-inspired "Sundae Sour" defined by an aggressive saturation of raspberry and creamy white chocolate. The sensory profile is dominated by the jammy intensity of fresh raspberry puree, which provides a sharp tartness to counter the rich, velvety sweetness of the white chocolate. True to the brewery’s reputation, the beer presents a thick, smoothie-like viscosity that coats the palate. While the base suggests a wild fermentation, the primary experience is a lush interplay between vibrant fruit acidity and a luxurious, confectionery-like finish that emphasizes the richness of the white chocolate over traditional funk.
Appearance.Deep ruby-red to magenta; completely opaque with a thick, smoothie-like consistency. The head is pink-tinted, dense, and creamy, though retention is poor, leaving heavy fruit sediment and "legging" on the glass walls.
Aroma.High intensity; pungent, jammy raspberry dominates initially, followed by prominent creamy vanilla and cocoa butter notes from the white chocolate. A subtle lactic tartness provides a clean, acidic edge that prevents the aroma from being cloying.
Taste.Initial impression is a burst of tart, seedless raspberry jam. The mid-palate is swept by a wave of white chocolate sweetness and a rich, dessert-like creaminess. Hop bitterness is non-existent. The finish is lingering and sweet-tart, successfully balancing the sharp fruit acidity with a decadent, sugary weight.
Mouthfeel.Full, heavy, and viscous body; creamy and tongue-coating with a significant smoothie-like texture. Carbonation is low to moderate, providing just enough lift to the heavy fruit weight. No alcohol warmth or astringency.
