Sour Ale 5.5 º

Funky Fluid

This Wild Specialty Beer presents a striking sensory reimagining of a classic PB&J sandwich, crafted as a lush, lactose-free ice cream sour. The experience is led by an intense aromatic duo of jammy blueberry and sharp, earthy black currant, immediately followed by the distinctively savory and roasted scent of peanut butter. On the palate, the assertive acidity of the dark berries provides a bright counterpoint to the rich, oily depth of the nuts. Despite its moderate alcohol, the high original gravity delivers a velvety, smoothie-like texture that carries the fruit and nut flavors through a long, tangy, and dessert-like finish.

Appearance. Deep magenta to opaque purple with a thick, vibrant pink-tinted head; head retention is moderate to low due to fruit solids and peanut butter oils; significant lacing.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant notes of ripe blueberry jam and tart black currant skins; secondary aroma of freshly roasted peanut butter provides a savory, nutty contrast; very low malt character and no hop aroma; clean lactic sourness.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tart dark fruit including blueberry and black currant; mid-palate reveals a rich, savory peanut butter flavor that rounds out the acidity; balance is pleasantly tart yet dessert-leaning; finish is long with lingering berry sweetness and a hint of nut oil; no hop bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a thick, plush, and creamy texture; moderate carbonation; very low alcohol warmth; mild astringency from berry skins but generally smooth and mouth-coating.
