Nevel

This elegant Wild Blond Ale highlights the marriage of rustic fermentation and sun-ripened fruit. Fresh figs provide a lush, jammy sweetness that weaves through a fragrant tapestry of floral lavender. Complex Brettanomyces activity introduces a dry, earthy funk and tropical fruit esters, while time in the barrel imparts distinctive notes of coconut and cinnamon. The base beer remains lean and crisp, allowing the specific harvest nuances of the figs to shine. It is a nuanced sensory experience where the wood-driven spice and herbal botanicals complement the vibrant, fruity character of this exceptionally well-attenuated and artisanal ale.

Appearance. Pale golden to light amber (5-7 SRM) with a soft, persistent haze from the fruit solids and wild yeast. Pours with a thin, bright white head that shows moderate retention and delicate lacing.

Aroma. High intensity. Fresh, ripe figs and floral lavender dominate, supported by rustic Brettanomyces funk reminiscent of wet hay and leather. Secondary barrel notes of toasted coconut and a light cinnamon spice emerge alongside tropical stone fruit esters.

Taste. Initial impression is remarkably dry and crisp. The flavor of fresh figs is prominent but earthy, balanced by a subtle herbal lavender lift. Malt flavor is low and crackery, allowing the spicy phenols and fruity esters to lead. Bitterness is very low, finishing with a light, non-lactic tartness and a lingering fruit-skin complexity.

Mouthfeel. Light-bodied and lean. Carbonation is high and effervescent, providing a lively, spritzy sensation. Alcohol warmth is negligible. Minimal astringency from the fruit and lavender additions.
