La Barberie

This vibrant Wild Specialty Beer delivers a multi-sensory explosion of tropical and orchard fruit. The presence of banana, strawberry, and mango creates a dense, aromatic profile supported by a subtle wild funk that adds layers of complexity. Brewed with oats, wheat, and lactose, the beer maintains a soft, pillowy structure that tempers the refreshing lactic acidity. The interplay between the tart fermentation character and the creamy sweetness of the lactose ensures a balanced profile, where sun-ripened mango and bright strawberry notes shine through the finish, resulting in a bold, imaginative take on a wild ale.

Appearance. Pours a deep, hazy apricot with pinkish-orange hues derived from the fruit. Features a moderate, off-white head with fair retention and a fine-beaded texture, leaving light lacing.

Aroma. High-intensity aromatic profile dominated by lush mango and sweet strawberry. Subtle notes of overripe banana blend with a moderate lactic tartness and a hint of earthy funk. The malt character is neutral, masked by fruit and a light, milky sweetness from lactose.

Taste. An immediate burst of tropical mango and tart strawberry, followed by the smooth, creamy sweetness of banana and lactose. Moderate acidity provides a bright, refreshing counterpoint to the fruit sugars. Low hop bitterness allows the wild fermentation character, featuring light lemon and earthy notes, to remain at the forefront. The finish is juicy and lingering with a balanced sweetness.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a notably creamy, smooth texture due to the addition of oats, wheat, and lactose. Carbonation is moderate, providing a light prickle that cleanses the palate. Alcohol warmth is negligible.
