Eik & Tid

Hav & Bær is an expressive Wild Specialty Beer that captures a rustic Norwegian coastal character. The sensory experience is dominated by a vibrant red berry profile, offering sharp notes of tart redcurrant and raspberry. A distinctive addition of North Sea salt provides a savory, mineral counterpoint that enhances the beer's crispness and mouth-watering qualities. The wild fermentation introduces earthy Brettanomyces funk and a clean lactic acidity, which seamlessly integrate with the fruit acids. This composition results in a complex, bone-dry profile where the salinity provides a unique structural balance to the bright, fruit-forward tartness.

Appearance. Deep pink to soft ruby red (12–15 SRM); the head is light pink, finely beaded, with moderate to low retention; hazy to opaque due to fruit solids and wild yeast.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant tart red berries with a rustic, barnyard funk; light sourdough malt notes; notable briny, saline mineral character; hop aroma is absent.

Taste. Initial sharp lactic tartness; intense flavors of underripe red berries without residual sugar; very low bitterness; the North Sea salt adds a savory depth that balances the acidity; finish is exceptionally dry, clean, and lingering with a saline tang.

Mouthfeel. Light body; moderate-high carbonation provides a prickly, refreshing scrub; no alcohol warmth; slight fruit skin astringency; the salt addition contributes a smooth, mouth-watering sensation.
