Pure Project Brewing Practical Elegance
Sour Ale 6 º
Practical Elegance is a vibrant Wild Specialty Beer that prioritizes a lush, fruit-forward experience. This smoothie-style ale presents an intense plum hue, derived from the massive one-third volume addition of organic cherry and raspberry purees. The sensory profile is dominated by decadent aromas of cherry pie and boysenberry, suggesting a complex, jammy depth. On the palate, a bright acidity from Meyer lemon cuts through the rich raspberry sorbet and mixed berry flavors. The unfermented fruit solids provide a substantial, smoothie-like texture, resulting in a unique balance of dessert-like sweetness and refreshing wild tartness.
Appearance. Deep plum to purple in color (SRM 25-40); pink-tinted, creamy head with moderate retention; opaque with a heavy, smoothie-like suspension of fruit solids.
Aroma. High intensity; dominant aromatics of fresh cherry pie, jammy boysenberry, and concentrated raspberry puree. A subtle lactic tartness is present in the background, though the profile is devoid of hop or malt-derived scents.
Taste. Initial impression of sweet raspberry sorbet and dark berry medley. The high fruit flavor is balanced by a sharp, citrusy Meyer lemon tartness that provides structure. The finish is lingering and jammy, with a well-integrated balance of residual fruit sweetness and wild acidity.
Mouthfeel. Full, thick, and viscous body; heavy smoothie-like creaminess from the massive fruit addition; moderate carbonation; very low alcohol warmth and no perceived astringency.
