Freigeist Bierkultur Hybrid Sequence 0.004 Brand Riesling 2017
Sour Ale 7 º
This Straight Sour Beer represents a sophisticated intersection of wild fermentation and traditional viticulture. Co-fermented with Riesling grapes, the 2017 vintage offers a bright, refined lactic acidity that mirrors the sharp lemon and tart green apple notes of its spontaneous origin. The inclusion of the grapes introduces elegant floral nuances and a distinct stone fruit character, while extended oak aging provides structural depth and a whisper of neutral wood tannin. Effervescent and remarkably dry, the palate balances its high-intensity tang with the mineral complexity of a fine dry wine, resulting in a crisp, lingering finish.
Appearance. Pale straw to light gold (3 SRM). Large, dense white head with poor retention and light lacing. Slight haze typical of spontaneous fermentation, though highly effervescent.
Aroma. High intensity with a dominant, sharply sour lactic character. Pronounced fruity esters of peach, apricot, and lemon zest from the Riesling grapes. Low crackery malt presence with subtle undertones of neutral oak and a faint, clean wild funk. No hop aroma.
Taste. Initial impression is an intense, clean lactic sourness. A subtle crackery and grainy malt flavor provides a brief foundation for dominant Riesling flavors of white peach and floral citrus. No hop bitterness or flavor is detected. The finish is bone-dry and crisp, leaving a lingering tartness and mineral aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Light body with high, effervescent carbonation. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present at 7% ABV. Crisp acidity creates a sharp, palate-cleansing sensation with a very light tannic astringency from the oak and grape skins.
