pHormula

pHormula Maria Mriyeah 8° presents a complex, spontaneously fermented evolution of a Flanders Red Ale, elevated by the intensive addition of cherries. The sensory profile is dominated by a sharp, acidic cherry punch and deep vinous notes, reflecting its spontaneous roots. Earthy Brettanomyces funk provides layers of wet hay and aged leather, which intertwine with the rich, dark fruit character of the malt base. At 8% ABV, there is a substantial presence that supports the tartness, leading to a bone-dry, lingering finish. This beer bridges the gap between a wild ale and a fruit-infused sour, offering a sophisticated tapestry of stone fruit and farmhouse soul.

Appearance. Deep ruby to garnet red (SRM 16–22) with a hazy to opaque clarity due to the spontaneous fermentation and fruit additions. It features a persistent, light pinkish-tan head with moderate lacing.

Aroma. High intensity. Bold sour cherry and red currant dominate the foreground, supported by complex Brettanomyces funk featuring wet hay, barnyard, and earthy notes. Subtle vinous qualities and a hint of dark bread or plum from the malt are present.

Taste. Initial sharp tartness and cherry skins. Malt provides a background of toasted bread and dried fruit. The mid-palate reveals earthy, leathery funk and a slight wood-like dryness. High attenuation from the Brett leads to a very dry finish with a lingering cherry pit character and a balanced, non-vinegary acidity.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body, which is relatively substantial for the style due to the higher alcohol content. Moderate carbonation. Notable alcohol warmth is smooth and well-integrated. Minimal astringency despite the fruit skins.
