Northern Monk NORTHERN WILD 004 // MIXED FERMENTATION ALE
Northern Wild 004 is a sophisticated Saison that showcases the complex interplay of mixed fermentation and white wine barrel aging. Effervescent and bright, it opens with a funky citrus acidity and delicate floral honey notes derived from its extensive maturation. The sensory profile is defined by soft stone fruits and a distinct white wine character, complemented by whispers of vanilla from the oak barrels. Bottle conditioning with Champagne yeast ensures a lively, sparkling texture that leads into a sophisticated, bone-dry finish. Subtle tannins provide structure, making this collaboration a rustic yet elegant expression of wild brewing artistry.
Appearance. Deep gold to pale amber (7-9 SRM). Pours with a voluminous, dense, ivory head that exhibits excellent persistence and intricate Belgian lacing. Unfiltered with a slight, hazy luminescence and constant, fine carbonation bubbles.
Aroma. High intensity. Dominant fruity esters of apricot and peach are layered with a funky, earthy spiciness and leather-like Brettanomyces character. Distinctive white wine vinous notes and a touch of floral honey-like malt. Low floral hop character. Hints of oaky vanilla and a clean, sharp lactic acidity are present.
Taste. Initial impression of bright, tart citrus acidity followed by stone fruit flavors and a sophisticated white wine woodiness. Malt flavor is low and grainy. Hop bitterness is moderate but perceived higher due to very high attenuation and a bone-dry finish. Yeast-driven black pepper spiciness mingles with a lingering, tannic dryness and subtle vanilla notes.
Mouthfeel. Medium body, feeling lighter due to high attenuation. Effervescent, high carbonation from Champagne yeast provides a prickly, scrubbing sensation. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth. Lightly mouth-puckering acidity and a distinct, drying tannic astringency from the oak.
