Fruit Lambic 6 º

Flying Couch Brewing

Absurt is a vibrant Wild Specialty Beer that showcases a masterful integration of stone fruit and funky fermentation. The experience begins with an inviting, sun-drenched aroma of fresh apricots, where the scent of fuzzy fruit skins merges with the rustic, earthy notes of Brettanomyces. On the palate, the 6% ABV supports a bright, puckering lactic acidity that carves through a lean malt profile. The apricots provide a succulent, jammy depth without residual sugar, leaving a complex, bone-dry impression. Effervescent and sharp, it balances wild, barnyard character with the pure, tangy essence of the orchard, culminating in a crisp and refreshingly tart finish.

Appearance. Deep gold to hazy orange (SRM 6-9) with a slight, persistent white head that leaves minimal lacing; clarity is characterized by a moderate, fruit-induced haze.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics of fresh apricot and stone fruit esters; moderate funk consisting of hay, leather, and mild earthy notes; a sharp, clean lactic sourness is present alongside very low, crackery malt.

Taste. The initial impression is sharply tart and fruity, leading into dominant flavors of fermented apricot and lemon zest. Hop bitterness is very low, allowing the acidity to provide the primary balance. The finish is exceedingly dry and clean, with a lingering, funky Brettanomyces aftertaste and a faint, wafer-like malt backbone.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, prickly carbonation that enhances the perception of dryness. Very low alcohol warmth and a hint of fruit-derived tannin provide a slight, pleasant astringency on the tongue.
