This vibrant Wild Specialty Beer presents an enlivening, multi-layered profile driven by its unique botanicals and wild fermentation. Zesty sour cherry provides a bright, acidic core, while aromatic black currant buds add an herbal, dark-fruit complexity. The inclusion of lemony maqaw pepper introduces a distinctive citrus-spice spark that lifts the aroma. Walnut wood grounds the experience, lending a sturdy depth and earthy structure to the high-ABV base. Effervescent and bone-dry, the palate balances aggressive tartness with intricate wood-derived tannins, resulting in a sophisticated, fruit-forward profile that finishes with a clean, spicy snap.
Appearance.Deep ruby to garnet with a slight haze. Pours with a thin, pink-tinted head that dissipates quickly to a persistent collar; light lacing.
Aroma.High intensity aromatics of sharp lactic acidity and funk. Distinctive notes of tart sour cherry and the green, resinous perfume of black currant buds are prominent. Lemongrass and citrus notes from maqaw pepper intermingle with an underlying earthy, nutty scent from walnut wood.
Taste.Sharp, zesty sour cherry and puckering acidity lead the palate. Mid-palate reveals complex herbal notes and a hint of dark berry skin. Lemony maqaw pepper provides a spicy, citrus-like pop that persists into the finish. Walnut wood adds a dry, woody structure and faint earthiness. Hop bitterness is very low, and malt presence is neutral. Finishes very dry and crisp.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with very high, effervescent carbonation that pricks the tongue. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present. Light tannic astringency from the wood and fruit skins contributes to a bone-dry mouthfeel.
