This Wild Specialty Beer, evolved from the brewery’s Alice base, presents a sophisticated sensory profile shaped by extended contact with spent blackberries. A soft rose hue introduces a complex bouquet dominated by jammy blackberry preserves and earthy wild fermentation notes. On the palate, the concentrated essence of the fruit is balanced by the structural presence of oak and fruit tannins, providing a vinous quality. A prickly, medium-high acidity drives the experience, cutting through the funk and leading to an exceptionally dry, lingering finish. The interaction between the mature barrel-aged components and the fruit skin character creates a refined, multi-layered profile.
Appearance.Presents a soft rose hue (SRM 4-7 depending on light). Clarity exhibits a slight haze with a low to moderate white head that shows limited retention, common for the style.
Aroma.High intensity aromatics of blackberry preserves and dark berry skins. Nuanced wild character includes earthy funk, light leather, and a sharp lactic acidity. Subtle oak notes of toasted wood and a hint of vanillin are well-integrated.
Taste.Initial impression is tart and fruity. Prominent blackberry preserves flavor with minimal sweetness. Hop bitterness is very low, as the balance is driven by a prickly, medium-high acidity and fruit tannins. Low neutral malt presence allows the funk and wood character to shine. Finishes very dry and clean with a lingering berry skin astringency.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a prickly, medium-high to high carbonation level. Low alcohol warmth. Notable fruit and oak tannin provide a structured, slightly astringent mouthfeel that enhances the perceived dryness.
