This spontaneous collaboration harmonizes the rustic elegance of Herefordshire perry pears with a structural base inspired by Czech Světlý Ležák. Brewed with Czech grown barley and brightened by US Centennial hops, the sensory profile is defined by a surprising creaminess that bridges the gap between delicate pear sweetness and a snappy, citrus-flecked bitterness. Wild yeast fermentation introduces a subtle, earthy funk that weaves through notes of stone fruit and white blossoms. It finishes exceptionally dry and crisp, reflecting the high attenuation of the wild microbes while maintaining a sophisticated, fruit-forward complexity and a refreshing, hybrid character.
Appearance.Pale gold to deep yellow (4–6 SRM). It pours with a moderate, white, creamy head that shows fair retention. Appearance is characterized by a slight, natural haze consistent with spontaneous fermentation and fruit addition.
Aroma.Moderate-high intensity featuring fresh pear, white grape, and floral US Centennial hops. Grainy-sweet malt notes from the Czech grown barley are present but subordinate to fruity esters and a light, earthy Brettanomyces funk suggesting wet hay and stone fruit.
Taste.Initial impression is crisp and snappy. Delicate pear sweetness is immediately balanced by a moderate hop bitterness and citrus peel flavors. The malt profile is lean and crackery, providing a clean canvas for orchard fruit and a light, rustic farmyard character. The finish is remarkably dry and clean, with a lingering note of pear skin and floral hops.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a surprising, soft creaminess on the palate. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a lively prickle. Alcohol warmth is very low and well-integrated. No harsh astringency, despite the presence of perry pear tannins.
