Fruit Lambic 6 º

La Source Beer Co.

This Wild Specialty Beer is a vibrant, tropical-forward sour that celebrates the interplay of sharp acidity and lush fruit. Intense aromatics of ripe mango and zesty lime peel lead the sensory experience, supported by the punchy, floral tang of passion fruit. The wild fermentation provides a clean, lactic tartness that cuts through the fruit’s perceived sweetness without overwhelming the palate. Effervescent and bright, it balances the juicy character of the tropical additions with a crisp, bone-dry finish. Plaisir Coupable offers a refreshing, multi-layered profile where the citrus zest and exotic fruit esters harmonize against a subtle, rustic wild ale backdrop.

Appearance. Deep gold to hazy orange (SRM 6-9) with a visible tint from the fruit additions. Pours with a moderate white head that exhibits fair retention, leaving light lacing as it recedes.

Aroma. High intensity with dominant notes of tropical fruit. Fresh mango and pungent passion fruit provide a lush, sweet-smelling core, while lime zest adds a sharp, citrusy high note. A clean, lactic sourness is present, with very low bready malt and no hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression is a bracing but balanced lactic tartness. The flavors of passion fruit and lime drive a sharp, refreshing acidity, while the mango provides a fleshy, tropical depth. Despite the fruity profile, the beer is fermented very dry. Hop bitterness is negligible, and the finish is clean and lingering with a tart citrus aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation that creates a prickly, effervescent sensation on the tongue. Low alcohol warmth. Very slight fruit-derived tannin contributes to a crisp, dry mouthfeel without being astringent.
