La Source Beer Co.

This Wild Specialty Beer presents a vibrant fusion of a crisp lager base and the elegant, vinous character of Gamay grape must. It opens with an expressive sensory bouquet of tart red berries, cherry, and subtle floral notes, underpinned by a faint earthy funk and a clean, crackery malt profile. The palate is sharply refreshing, defined by a bright lactic acidity that highlights the nuanced flavors of red currants and grape skins. Fermented to a bone-dry finish, the beer balances its fruit-forward complexity with a delicate tannic structure and high carbonation, reminiscent of a fine sparkling rosé.

Appearance. SRM 6-9; pale ruby to deep rosé hue with a thin, pinkish-white head; moderate clarity with fine, persistent effervescence and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity; prominent notes of red cherry, raspberry, and crushed grapes from the Gamay must; subtle lactic tartness and a faint, clean pilsner-style malt sweetness; very low hop character.

Taste. Immediate tartness featuring red currant and green grape flavors; very low hop bitterness; clean fermentation character with a vinous, bone-dry finish and a lingering, slightly acidic berry skin aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Light body; high carbonation providing a lively, spritzy sensation on the tongue; subtle tannic astringency from the grape skins; very low alcohol warmth.
