Schneeeule
Protokoll Brewery

This collaboration between Schneeeule and Protokoll results in a sophisticated Wild Specialty Beer that bridges the gap between a traditional German sour and a modern New England IPA. At 7.5% ABV, it presents an intense sensory profile defined by juicy tropical hop notes of mango and passionfruit intertwined with a sharp, lactic acidity. The influence of Schneeeule’s wild yeast provides a nuanced layer of Brettanomyces funk—reminiscent of dried hay and soft leather—underpinning the punchy hop character. It is a complex, vibrant hybrid where the hazy, soft texture of a NEIPA meets the crisp, refreshing tartness of a wild ale, resulting in a refreshing yet potent experience.

Appearance. Straw to deep gold (4-7 SRM); opaque haze with a persistent white head that shows moderate retention and light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics featuring tropical fruits like pineapple and mango alongside zesty grapefruit; a clean, sharp lactic sourness is prominent, complemented by subtle wild yeast funk including notes of hay and earth.

Taste. An immediate hit of lactic tartness is balanced by luscious stone fruit and tropical hop flavors. The bitterness is low, allowing the acidity to provide the primary structure. The finish is remarkably dry and crisp with a lingering citrus zest and a complex, funky yeast character.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a soft, pillowy texture derived from the high protein grain bill; moderate to high carbonation provides a lively prickle; a gentle alcohol warmth is present without being harsh.
