Open Mind Fermentation Project

Entanglement is a sophisticated Wild Specialty Beer that bridges the gap between dark malt complexity and vibrant, modern hop aromatics. This dark sour pours with a deep mahogany hue, offering an intricate interplay of freshly roasted Ethiopian coffee and the citrus-forward punch of Citra hops. The aroma is highly aromatic, merging floral coffee notes with zesty lime and grapefruit. On the palate, a light, refreshing lactic acidity brightens rich malt layers of toasted bread and cocoa without becoming overwhelming. The finish is remarkably smooth and dry, showcasing a lingering fruity and floral character derived from the synergy of coffee and hops.

Appearance. Deep mahogany to dark brown (SRM 25–35); light tan head with moderate retention and delicate lacing; clarity ranges from clear to a slight haze due to the dry-hop addition.

Aroma. High intensity; prominent floral and blueberry-like notes from the Ethiopian coffee layered over zesty citrus, grapefruit, and lime from Citra hops. Secondary aromas include subtle dark chocolate and toasted bread maltiness with a clean, light lactic tartness and faint earthy funk.

Taste. Initial impression is bright and tart, quickly followed by a rich malt backbone of caramel and cocoa. Distinctive flavors of stone fruit and citrus emerge from the Citra hops, while the coffee provides a delicate jasmine and berry complexity. Low bitterness allows the mild acidity to drive the balance. The finish is clean and dry with lingering floral hop notes.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, creamy texture; moderate carbonation provides a lively lift; very low astringency despite the coffee addition; alcohol warmth is well-hidden and subtle.
