Fonta Flora Brewery Jitterbug
Other Styles 5.9 º
This Appalachian Wild Ale presents a complex tapestry of regional terroir, weaving local barley, rye, and wheat into a rustic foundation. Fermented with house mixed cultures and aged in a single red wine barrel, it showcases an elegant integration of fresh high country wild plums. The sensory profile is defined by a subtle tartness and layered stone fruit character, supported by vinous notes and soft oak tannins. The Brettanomyces influence contributes earthy, barnyard undertones that evolve alongside the spicy rye and soft wheat. It is a nuanced, dry, and highly drinkable expression of fruit and fermentation.
Appearance. Ranges from a hazy gold to a soft rose-hued amber, depending on plum skin extraction. Features a moderate, off-white head with fair retention and delicate lacing.
Aroma. High intensity; prominent notes of tart wild plums and red wine vinousness. Earthy funk provides a backdrop of wet hay and leather, complemented by a peppery rye spice and bready wheat character.
Taste. Initial tart plum skin and bright stone fruit flavors transition into a dry, complex mid-palate. Subtle red wine oak and tannins balance the grainy sweetness of the local malts. The finish is crisp and lingering with a mild, earthy funk and low bitterness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that enhances the tartness. A slight tannic astringency from the barrel aging provides structure without being harsh.
