Malanka

This Brett Beer represents a complex fusion of mixed-culture fermentation and innovative hopping. Fermented with a house blend of Saccharomyces, Pediococcus, Lactobacillus, and Brettanomyces, it spent six months in red wine barrels, gaining structural depth. The standout feature is the dry-hopping with HBC 472, a neomexicanus hop that imparts vivid tropical fruit and floral notes alongside a distinct woody vanilla character. Expect a sensory journey of coconut gelato and oaky tannins, balanced by a bone-dry finish and a funky, wild complexity that reflects both the barrel's heritage and the hop's unique genetic lineage.

Appearance. Deep gold to light amber with subtle ruby highlights from red wine barrel aging; displays a slight haze and a persistent, heavy head of fluffy white foam.

Aroma. High intensity; a layered bouquet of tropical fruits, citrus, and floral notes from HBC 472 hops, intertwined with leather and barnyard funk. Significant woody vanilla and toasted coconut notes from the hops and oak, complemented by a vinous red wine character.

Taste. Bone-dry and highly attenuated; initial flavors of tart tropical fruit and stone fruit transition into a mid-palate of coconut, vanilla, and subtle oak tannin. The house blend provides a light-to-moderate lactic acidity and a persistent earthy funk. Hop bitterness is low, allowing the woody, vinous notes to linger into a crisp, clean finish.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a prickly, high carbonation from natural bottle conditioning; smooth creaminess on the tongue despite the dryness. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth.
