My Currant Situation is a vibrant Wild Specialty Beer that bursts with the rustic charm of fresh black currants. Brewed at a sessionable 4.5% ABV, this sour ale pours a striking deep ruby-violet under a lively pink-tinted foam. The aroma delivers an inviting blend of sharp dark berry skin, earthy funk, and a clean lactic acidity. On the palate, a bright, juicy wave of tart black currant flavor is balanced by subtle woody undertones and a dry, refreshing finish. Highly carbonated and light-bodied, it offers a beautifully balanced sourness that highlights the pure, fresh essence of the fruit.

Appearance. Deep ruby-red with a vibrant violet hue. Topped by a frothy, pink-tinted head that fades relatively quickly to a persistent collar. Slight haze is present, typical of a fruited wild ale.

Aroma. High intensity aroma dominated by fresh, tart black currants, showcasing both juicy berry flesh and earthy, slightly leafy skins. A clean lactic sourness supports the fruit, complemented by subtle wild yeast rustic notes of damp hay and mild leather. Malt and hop aromas are virtually absent.

Taste. An immediate wave of sharp, tart black currant flavor leads the palate, with the fruit's natural sweetness fully fermented dry. Low bready malt undertones provide a brief canvas. Hop bitterness is negligible, while a vibrant lactic acidity drives the balance. Complex, rustic wild yeast notes whisper in the background. Finishes bone-dry, clean, and crisp, with a lingering, refreshing berry skin tartness.

Mouthfeel. Light-bodied with high, effervescent carbonation that lends a spritzy, lively texture. There is no alcohol warmth. A very light, pleasant puckering astringency from the berry skins enhances the dry, refreshing structure.
