PINTA Barrel Brewing

Crest presents a sophisticated marriage of maturation and fruit, showcasing a year-old Wild Ale profile further refined by a month-long rest on Polish strawberries. The 12-month aging process introduces nuanced Brettanomyces layers of wet hay and aged leather, providing a rustic foundation for the vibrant, jammy essence of the berries. While the base beer delivers a lean, highly attenuated structure, the addition of Polish strawberries imparts a perceived tartness and a sun-ripened sweetness that dances against the dry, earthy backdrop. This Brett Beer remains remarkably crisp and refreshing, balancing wild complexity with the bright, summer-like character of the fruit.

Appearance. Luminous salmon-orange to pale pink with a slight, natural haze from the fruit addition. Pours with a moderate, fine-beaded white head that recedes to a delicate collar, leaving light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity with a primary bouquet of fresh and jammy Polish strawberries. Underlying the fruit are classic wild characteristics of barnyard funk, damp earth, and a hint of stone fruit esters. Malt presence is minimal, appearing as a faint crackery note.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tart strawberry skin and juicy berry flesh. Mid-palate, the Brettanomyces provides a dry, earthy complexity with notes of hay and a subtle peppery spice. High attenuation leaves almost no residual sugar, resulting in a bone-dry finish where the fruity esters and rustic funk linger cleanly without harshness or heavy acidity.

Mouthfeel. Light-bodied and highly effervescent with a crisp, prickly carbonation that scrubs the palate. Alcohol warmth is negligible, and there is a faint, pleasant berry-seed astringency that enhances the overall dryness.
