Squib Cakes presents a masterclass in the marriage of wild fermentation and fruit. This Lambic-inspired wild ale, aged for eighteen months in French Oak, radiates with the rustic influence of Brettanomyces. The addition of wild blueberries transforms the profile, layering tangy fruit complexity over a foundation of intense earthy funk and wood-derived tannins. One can sense the patient maturation in the puncheons, which imparts a subtle structure to the balanced acidity. It is a dry, vibrant experience where the berry's natural tartness meets the barnyard depth of a well-aged wild blend, resulting in a sophisticated and deeply evocative sensory journey.
Appearance.Striking deep magenta color with a moderate, pink-tinted head that shows fair retention and light lacing; clarity is slightly hazy due to the heavy fruit refermentation and wild cultures.
Aroma.High intensity aromatics featuring intense barnyard funk, wet hay, and leather; these are layered with deep, jammy wild blueberry notes, earthy wood character from French Oak, and a bright, tangy acidic lift.
Taste.The palate opens with a sharp, tangy burst of wild blueberry and balanced lactic acidity. The malt is minimal, providing just enough cracker-like support for a complex profile of earthy funk, wood tannins, and berry skins. High attenuation leads to a bone-dry finish with lingering notes of forest floor and tart fruit.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that prickles the tongue. There is a slight, pleasant tannic astringency from the blueberries and French Oak, with very low alcohol warmth.
