HopEra

Trizo Grand-Maman is a bold Wild Specialty Beer that masterfully masks its potent 11% ABV behind a lush, juice-like profile. Dominated by an intense raspberry character, this sensory experience offers a vibrant interplay where succulent fruit notes intertwine with the complex, funky nuances of a wild fermentation. While the aroma is a fragrant bouquet of ripe berries and subtle acidic brightness, the palate reveals a dangerous balance of sweetness and tartness. This beer strikes with the force of a winter storm, delivering a warming, full-bodied presence that belies its deceptively easy-drinking, fruity exterior, finishing with a lingering, complex berry depth.

Appearance. Vibrant ruby to deep pink color; slight haze is common. The head is pink-tinted with moderate to poor retention and thin lacing, typical of high-alcohol wild fermentations.

Aroma. High intensity of fresh, jammy raspberries dominates. Secondary aromatics include a complex wild funk with notes of hay and leather, complemented by a clean, sweet alcohol presence and light lactic acidity.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of sweet raspberry fruit followed by a balancing, sharp acidity. Low malt presence allows the fruit and fermentation character to lead. Hop bitterness is virtually absent; the finish is long, warming, and fruit-forward with a lingering, dry tartness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a slight creaminess; carbonation is moderate to high. Significant alcohol warmth is noticeable but smooth, accompanied by a light tannin-induced astringency from the fruit skins.
