Elmeleven Just Before The Bang (PULP)
Sour Ale 5 º
Elmeleven’s Just Before The Bang (PULP) presents a decadent sensory experience within the Wild Specialty Beer framework. This intensely fruited ale leads with the vibrant, tart aromatics of Raspberry and the deep, earthy sweetness of Blackcurrant. The inclusion of Peanut Butter adds a unique savory, nutty counterpoint that softens the wild fermentation's acidity. Expect a thick, smoothie-like profile where the fruit’s natural tannins and the peanut butter’s creamy essence weave through a bright, lactic tartness. It is a bold, modern interpretation of a wild ale, balancing sharp berry brightness with a lingering, rich nutty finish.
Appearance. Deep, opaque magenta to dark purple hue (SRM 30+). Thick, pink-tinted head with moderate to poor retention; significant sediment and high viscosity reflecting the heavy fruit pulp content.
Aroma. High intensity. Dominant aromas of fresh raspberry jam and tart blackcurrant skins. A distinct, creamy, roasted peanut butter note provides a savory base. Subtle lactic tartness and funky esters from the wild fermentation are present, though hops and malt are largely obscured.
Taste. Initial explosion of tart raspberry and rich blackcurrant. The mid-palate introduces a smooth, nutty peanut butter flavor that provides a roundness to the sharp acidity. Low bitterness and minimal hop flavor. Malt is simple and cracker-like but largely masked by fruit solids. The finish is long and fruity with a lingering savory peanut aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Full, viscous body driven by the pulp density and peanut butter oils. Moderate carbonation. Noticeable creaminess despite the acidic profile. Minimal alcohol warmth; slight tannin-driven astringency from the blackcurrant skins.
