Funky Fluid

This Wild Specialty Beer is a vibrant, dessert-inspired ale that leans heavily into its Gelato namesake. Expect a tropical explosion of ripe Mango and deep, jammy Blueberry, supported by a lush, shake-like sweetness. The sweet and sour base creates a balanced tug-of-war between lactic acidity and creamy fruit sugars. While the wild fermentation provides a clean, acidic brightness, the fruit takes center stage, delivering a thick, smoothie-like profile. It is a modern, indulgent take on the style where the intensity of the Mango and Blueberry provides a decadent sensory experience reminiscent of a cold fruit sorbet.

Appearance. Opaque, smoothie-like consistency with a deep violet to dark magenta hue. Pours with a thick, pastel-purple head that shows moderate retention and leaves significant fruit-pulp lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics dominated by fresh, pulpy mango and concentrated blueberry jam. A clean, lemony lactic sourness provides a bright backdrop. Subtle notes of creaminess emerge, though the primary focus remains on the vibrant, unfermented fruit character. No hop aroma or significant malt presence.

Taste. Immediate, punchy flavors of sweet mango nectar and tart blueberry skins. The mid-palate features a moderate lactic acidity that prevents the high residual sugar from becoming cloying. Malt is largely obscured by the fruit volume, providing only a light bready base. Minimal bitterness. The finish is long and lingering, tasting of fruit puree and a refreshing, tangy zing.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and viscous with a creamy, shake-like texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing enough lift to navigate the thick mouthfeel. Low alcohol warmth. Smooth and coating, with no perceptible astringency despite the heavy fruit addition.
