La Source Beer Co. Ichor
Fruit Lambic 10.8 º
Ichor presents as a decadent and complex Wild Specialty Beer, weaving together the intensity of an imperial base with vibrant fruit and spirit-forward maturation. A deep, vinous character defines the profile, dominated by the concentrated essence of tart cherries that merge seamlessly with the funk of a wild fermentation. Aging in rum barrels imparts luxurious layers of spiced molasses, dark sugar, and toasted oak, providing a robust counterpoint to the sharp acidity. At 10.8% ABV, a sophisticated warmth underscores the experience, while the interplay of fruit tannins and wood creates a lingering, sophisticated finish that celebrates both sweetness and sourness.
Appearance. Pours a deep ruby to mahogany hue with soft, garnet highlights. The head is a thin, pinkish-tan foam with limited retention and minimal lacing, typical for high-alcohol, acidic wild ales. Slight hazy opacity is present from the cherry addition.
Aroma. High intensity with a bold punch of sour cherries and dark stone fruit. The wild fermentation offers complex notes of wet hay, leather, and a mild earthy funk. Prominent rum-barrel influence contributes scents of demerara sugar, vanilla, and aged oak, accompanied by a noticeable but well-integrated ethanol warmth.
Taste. The initial impression is a sharp, clean lactic acidity softened by a rich cherry sweetness. Flavors of black cherries and plum dominate the mid-palate, supported by a sturdy malt backbone of caramel and toasted bread. Rum notes of molasses and spice provide depth, while hop bitterness remains very low to allow the tartness to shine. The finish is long and complex, ending dry with lingering fruit skin and oak tannins.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a surprisingly supple texture despite the acidity. Carbonation is moderate, providing a gentle lift. A significant alcoholic warmth is present, reflecting the 10.8% ABV, accompanied by a slight, pleasant astringency from the cherry pits and barrel aging.
