Drekker Brewing Company Swirlee - Orange Creamsicle
Fruit Lambic 6.4 º
This Wild Specialty Beer presents a vibrant sensory fusion, crashing Tangerines and Cara Cara Oranges into a luscious base of creamy vanilla. The aroma is high-intensity citrus, where the floral sweetness of the Cara Cara oranges meets the sharp, zesty punch of tangerine, all smoothed over by a rich vanilla ice cream character. On the palate, a bright lactic acidity balances the heavy fruit presence, creating a profile that is both tart and dessert-like. The finish is long and smooth, echoing the classic orange creamsicle profile with a velvety texture that masks the wild fermentation complexity under a blanket of indulgent fruit and cream.
Appearance. Deep, opaque orange-gold (SRM 8-10); thick, frothy off-white head with moderate retention and significant lacing or fruit-pulp residue.
Aroma. High intensity; dominant fresh tangerine zest and sweet Cara Cara orange juice; secondary notes of rich vanilla bean and sweet cream; very low funky Brettanomyces character; clean lactic sourness.
Taste. Initial burst of tart tangerine and sweet citrus; mid-palate brings heavy vanilla and creamy lactose-like flavors; negligible hop bitterness; clean, sharp acidity; finishes sweet-tart with a lingering vanilla and orange-pulp aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body; thick, smoothie-like viscosity; low to moderate carbonation; creamy and luscious texture; very low alcohol warmth; no astringency.
