Drekker Brewing Company Slang Du Jour - Bumbleberry Cobbler
Sour Ale 6.4 º
This Wild Specialty Beer is a decadent, dessert-inspired pour that captures the essence of a fresh bumbleberry cobbler. A complex medley of ripe blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries leads the profile, offering a rich, jammy fruit character. The inclusion of buttery granola and soft vanilla bean creates a comforting, pastry-like depth, while warm cinnamon provides a delicate spicy counterpoint. While the wild fermentation provides an underlying brightness, the focus remains on the thick, scoop-worthy texture and lush forest fruit layers. It balances the vibrant acidity of the berries with a rounded, creamy sweetness for a truly indulgent and multi-layered sensory experience.
Appearance. Deep magenta-purple with a thick, violet-tinted foam head that shows moderate to low retention. Completely opaque and viscous, resembling a fruit puree with significant lacing.
Aroma. High intensity aroma dominated by a jammy trifecta of blueberry, blackberry, and strawberry. Rich vanilla bean and buttery, toasted granola notes provide a heavy pastry backdrop. A distinct warmth of cinnamon lingers, alongside a very subtle lactic tartness that hints at the underlying wild fermentation.
Taste. The initial impression is an explosion of sweet and tart forest fruits, with the blueberries and blackberries providing a deep, vinous quality. The malt character is largely obscured by buttery, biscuit-like granola flavors and creamy vanilla. Cinnamon adds a spicy complexity that balances the intense fruit sugars. Hop bitterness is virtually non-existent. The finish is long and sweet, echoing berry preserves and warm spices, with just enough acidity to prevent a cloying sensation.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and highly viscous with a thick, smoothie-like texture and significant creaminess. Carbonation is moderate to low, providing just enough lift to the heavy mouthfeel. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated. There is no perceived tannin or astringency despite the heavy fruit load.
