Ta-Da is a vibrant Wild Specialty Beer that showcases a bold interplay between jammy fruit and bright acidity. Intense additions of Blueberry and Lemon drive the profile, offering a deep berry richness balanced by sharp citrus zest. The inclusion of Vanilla softens the acidic edges, creating a creamy, dessert-like undercurrent that rounds out the robust 7.5% ABV. While the base provides a sturdy, bready foundation, the focus remains on the expressive fruit character and a clean, lactic sourness. This Imperial Sour delivers a multi-layered sensory experience where dark berry tannins meet a refreshing, citrusy lift and a lingering, smooth, vanilla-laced finish.
Appearance.Opaque and deep purple to magenta in color. Pours with a thick, pink-tinted head that shows moderate retention and leaves light lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity; prominent aromas of ripe blueberry jam and freshly zested lemon dominate the nose. A smooth, marshmallow-like vanilla sweetness provides a bridge between the fruits, masking most malt character. Very low clean lactic tartness; no hop aroma.
Taste.Initial impression is a burst of tart blueberry followed quickly by a sharp, refreshing lemon punch. Malt flavor is minimal, providing just enough cracker-like support for the fruit. Vanilla adds a perceived sweetness that balances the firm, clean acidity without being cloying. Bitterness is nearly absent. The finish is crisp and tart with lingering notes of berry skins and creamy vanilla.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a creamy, velvety texture enhanced by the vanilla. Moderate carbonation. A soft, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present. Low astringency from the blueberry skins.
