Selfmade Brewery

Mr. Ferret is a vibrant and juicy Wild Specialty Beer that leans into the lush, textural world of smoothie-style ales. This expression centers on a dense foundation of sun-ripened peach and crisp apple puree, creating a deeply fruited profile that is both tart and indulgent. A delicate touch of vanilla rounds out the sharp lactic acidity, providing a creamy, dessert-like counterpoint to the wild fermentation character. The sensory experience is defined by its thick, nectar-like consistency and a bright, refreshing fruit acidity that dances across the palate, finishing with a lingering essence of stone fruit and sweet spice.

Appearance. Pours a thick, opaque orange-gold reminiscent of fruit nectar (SRM 7). The head is ivory-colored with moderate to poor retention, typical of heavily fruited ales, leaving a light ring of lacing.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics of fresh, pulpy peach and stewed apples dominate. A subtle, sweet vanilla bean note emerges as the beer warms, intertwined with a clean lactic tartness. There is no detectable hop aroma or malt character, keeping the focus entirely on the specialty fruit ingredients.

Taste. The initial impression is a burst of tart peach and sweet apple. A moderate lactic sourness provides a refreshing backbone, preventing the fruit puree from becoming cloying. Vanilla adds a smooth, marshmallow-like sweetness in the mid-palate. The finish is long and fruit-forward, balancing the natural acidity of the apple with a soft, lingering sweetness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a thick, pulpy, and creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing a slight lift to the heavy mouthfeel. Alcohol warmth is negligible, making for a very approachable and smooth experience without any perceived astringency.
