Primal Descent is a vibrant Straight Sour Beer that balances sharp, clean lactic acidity with a unique rustic character. The profile opens with an intriguing aromatic blend of fresh silage and mineral-rich dried creek bed, suggesting a complex fermentation profile. Pungent lemon zest and the savory, almond-like depth of decomposing apricot stones lead the palate, supported by a delicate, crackery malt backbone. Effervescent and refreshingly tart, it finishes bone-dry with a lingering citrus and stone fruit essence. This beer showcases a structured acidity that remains crisp and bright throughout, capturing an untamed yet refined sensory journey.
