MadX
Holy Goat Brewing

MadX Holy Funk, a collaboration with Holy Goat Brewing, presents a vibrant sensory profile defined by its barrel-aged maturation and the inclusion of sour cherries. The beer opens with an intense bouquet of bright, tart cherries and a sharp, clean lactic acidity reminiscent of lemon zest. A delicate background of biscuity malt and a whisper of toasted oak from the barrel aging provides necessary structure. On the palate, the assertive sourness is balanced by the natural fruit character and a faint tannic grip from the wood. This Straight Sour Beer finishes exceptionally dry and crisp, leaving a lingering impression of cherry skins and refreshing acidity.

Appearance. Deep ruby to pinkish-red; large, frothy pink-tinted head with moderate retention; slight haze from fruit pectins and barrel aging.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant tart cherry and cranberry notes; sharp lactic sourness; subtle vanilla and woody oak notes from the barrel; no hop aroma; clean fermentation character without funk.

Taste. Initial impression is a sharp, clean lactic sourness; intense tart cherry flavor with a hint of cherry pit; low biscuity malt support; hop bitterness is undetectable; finishes very dry and crisp with lingering fruit acidity.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body; high carbonation; crisp acidity provides a prickly sensation; light alcohol warmth; slight tannic astringency from cherry skins and wood.
