Exale Brewing

Exale Brewing Bossa is a vibrant Wild Specialty Beer that masterfully balances the earthy depth of blueberries with the delicate, exotic perfume of lychee. The pour reveals a striking magenta hue, leading with an aroma that blends floral sweetness and a bright, lactic tartness indicative of its wild fermentation. On the palate, the experience is driven by sharp, refreshing acidity that heightens the berry character while the lychee provides a tropical, rose-like elegance. Fermented dry, the beer showcases the tannic structure of blueberry skins without lingering sugar, concluding in a crisp, effervescent finish that highlights its complex, funky undercurrents.

Appearance. SRM 6–18 (dependent on fruit extraction); exhibits a deep pink to vibrant violet-purple hue. The head is typically pink-tinted with moderate retention, showing slight lacing. Clarity is hazy to opaque due to the heavy fruit addition and wild yeast.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Pronounced floral and tropical lychee notes are prominent, complemented by the jammy, slightly earthy scent of ripe blueberries. A clean lactic sourness provides a sharp backbone, often accompanied by subtle funk or hay-like esters from the wild fermentation.

Taste. Initial impression is sharply acidic and refreshing. The flavor of tart blueberry skins and floral lychee dominates, with the fruit sweetness largely fermented out to leave a dry, vinous character. Hop bitterness is negligible; the balance is firmly towards acidity. The finish is very dry, clean, and slightly tannic, with a lingering berry-skin aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a refreshing, crisp texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, enhancing the perceived tartness. A very slight tannin-driven astringency from the blueberries may be present, providing structure without harshness. No significant alcohol warmth.
