LoverBeer Lale 2018
Other Styles 9.5 º
LoverBeer Lale 2018 is a sophisticated Wild Specialty Beer showcasing the evolution of time and fermentation. This cherry-infused ale presents a complex bouquet where the tartness of the fruit merges with the rustic, earthy funk of Brettanomyces. Having aged since 2018, the initial stone fruit vibrancy has transitioned into deeper notes of marzipan, leather, and dried cherry skins. Despite its high alcohol content, it remains remarkably dry and structured, offering a vinous quality reminiscent of an old-world red wine. The interplay of subtle acidity and woody tannins creates a refined, lingering finish that highlights the mastery of spontaneous-style blending.
Appearance. Deep mahogany to ruby red with garnet highlights. Pours with a thin, pinkish-tan head that recedes quickly to a fine collar. Slight haze is present from the age and fruit particulate.
Aroma. High intensity. Pronounced barnyard funk, wet hay, and leather from aged Brettanomyces, layered over concentrated black cherry and plum. Subtle notes of almond and aged oak. Very low hop character; malt is masked by fermentation complexity.
Taste. Initial tartness of sour cherries and lemon zest, followed by a robust, earthy funk. Malt is lean, providing a cracker-like backdrop that yields to the fruit. High attenuation results in a bone-dry finish. Bitterness is low, allowing the fruit acidity and Brett-driven funk—reminiscent of hay and earth—to lead. Long, vinous aftertaste with a hint of warming alcohol and cherry pit.
Mouthfeel. Medium body, though lighter than the high ABV suggests due to high attenuation. Moderate to low carbonation. Noticeable alcohol warmth that is well-integrated. Low astringency from cherry skins and wood.
