La Superbe

This Imperial Wild Specialty Beer presents a vibrant sensory profile centered on a concentrated blueberry core. The aroma is an intricate blend of dark fruit skins, aromatic vanilla, and a distinct, woody maple sweetness, all underpinned by a moderate lactic tartness and rustic wild funk. On the palate, the sharp acidity of the blueberries is softened by the rounding influence of vanilla and the earthy, syrup-like richness of maple. The higher alcohol content is seamlessly integrated, providing a gentle warmth that supports the beer's substantial structure. It is a bold, deeply colored sour that masterfully balances intense fruitiness with complex, dessert-like nuances.

Appearance. Deep purple to saturated magenta hue; hazy to nearly opaque. Features a moderate, light-pink-tinted head with fair retention and slight lacing.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics featuring bold blueberry esters and floral vanilla. A subtle, sweet-earthy maple note is present, intertwined with a moderate lactic sourness and a touch of funky, wild fermentation character. Malt and hop aromas are negligible.

Taste. Initial impression is a sharp, clean acidity followed by intense blueberry flavor. The mid-palate introduces creamy vanilla and a complex maple sweetness that balances the tart fruit. Hop bitterness is very low to absent. The finish is lingering and fruity, with a well-integrated acidity and a faint tannin-like dryness from the fruit skins.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body, offering more weight than a standard wild ale. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a lively effervescence. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present, complemented by a creamy texture from the vanilla.
