Métaphore

This Brett Beer captures a delicate balance between rustic fermentation and fresh local plums. Aromas of ripe stone fruit lead into a complex bouquet of tropical esters and a gentle barnyard funk characteristic of Brettanomyces. On the palate, the plum presence is impactful yet refined, providing a succulent fruit quality that never overwhelms the dry, highly attenuated base. A subtle earthy undertone complements the fruit, finishing bone-dry with a refreshing, light acidity rather than harsh lactic sourness. With its low alcohol and effervescent carbonation, this selection offers a nuanced, farm-to-glass sensory experience that emphasizes elegance and drinkability.

Appearance. SRM 4–7; color ranges from deep gold to a soft amber with a subtle pinkish-orange hue from the plums. Generally hazy with a voluminous, frothy white head that shows moderate retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity featuring prominent notes of fresh plum, skin-on apricot, and pineapple. The Brettanomyces contribution is evident through secondary notes of wet hay, light earthy musk, and a floral, wildflower honey-like malt character. No diacetyl or hop aroma present.

Taste. Initial impression is remarkably dry and crisp. Distinctive plum flavors provide a bright stone fruit middle, supported by a lean, cracker-like malt backbone. Fermentation character is complex, showing tropical esters and a moderate rustic funk (earthy, slightly leathery). Bitterness is low, allowing a light fruit-derived acidity to provide balance. The finish is very dry, clean, and refreshing.

Mouthfeel. Light body with a very high level of attenuation. High carbonation provides a prickly, effervescent sensation on the tongue. Zero alcohol warmth; no astringency; very smooth and lean texture.
