La Source Beer Co. Primitive 026
Other Styles 7.5 º
La Source Primitive 026 is an evocative Brett Beer that marries rustic wild character with vibrant fruit and herbal complexity. A striking aroma of freshly crushed red raspberries is intertwined with a cool, aromatic breeze of garden mint and a subtle, earthy undertone of barnyard Brettanomyces funk. On the palate, the initial burst of jammy, tart raspberry gives way to a refreshing, clean minty finish that balances the beer's highly attenuated, bone-dry body. At 7.5% ABV, it carries a delicate, integrated warmth, concluding with a crisp, effervescent, and lingering herbal-fruit finish.
Appearance. Pours a vibrant, hazy reddish-pink with an orange tint. It is crowned by a dense, persistent, light pink-tinted head that leaves delicate, web-like lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity aroma dominated by jammy, ripe red raspberries and a bright, refreshing bouquet of garden-fresh mint. Beneath the forward fruit and herb notes lies a complex Brettanomyces presence of rustic wet hay, light leather, and mild barnyard funk, supported by a very low, clean bready malt backbone.
Taste. The initial impression is dry, crisp, and vibrantly fruity, featuring tart raspberry flesh and skin flavors. A distinct, cooling mint character emerges mid-palate, integrating seamlessly with earthy, rustic Brettanomyces funk. Hop bitterness is very low, allowing the natural fruit acidity and minty freshness to balance the dry, highly attenuated profile. Finishes bone-dry with lingering berry tartness and a clean, refreshing herbal aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, lively carbonation that creates a crisp, tingling sensation on the tongue. There is a gentle, well-integrated alcoholic warmth suitable for its 7.5% ABV, accompanied by a very slight, pleasant tannin astringency from the raspberries.
