Sour Ale 6 º 2 IBU

Noiseless

This Wild Specialty Beer offers a sophisticated interplay between sharp lactic acidity and the delicate, orchard-fresh character of Pear. The wild fermentation creates a bright, acidic foundation that amplifies the fruit's natural brightness while stripping away residual sugar to ensure a bone-dry finish. The inclusion of Tonka bean introduces complex, aromatic layers of vanilla, marzipan, and subtle clove, which provide a perceived sweetness that balances the aggressive sourness. Effervescent and refreshing, the profile is defined by a clean fermentation character where the spice and fruit are seamlessly integrated into the funk of the wild culture, making it both rustic and refined.

Appearance. Pale straw to light gold (3-5 SRM). Generally shows a slight haze from the fruit addition and wild yeast. Forms a fizzy white head with low retention, typical of acidic styles, leaving minimal lacing.

Aroma. High aromatic intensity. Leading with sharp, clean lactic sourness and fresh pear skins. The Tonka beans contribute prominent notes of vanilla, toasted almond, and a hint of cinnamon. A background of mild barnyard funk and earthy esters from the wild fermentation provides depth without overshadowing the fruit.

Taste. Initial impression is a sharp, refreshing acidity followed by the subtle, nuanced flavor of ripe Pear. The Tonka beans provide a mid-palate complexity reminiscent of marzipan and spice. Hop bitterness is absent (near 0 IBU), allowing the acidity to provide the structural balance. The finish is very dry and crisp with a lingering tartness and a trace of spicy almond.

Mouthfeel. Light-bodied and highly attenuated. Carbonation is high and prickly, enhancing the perceived sourness. No significant alcohol warmth is present. A very slight tannin-like astringency from the pear and spice adds a firming edge to the thin body.
