Sesma Alberchico
Sour Ale 5 º
Sesma Alberchico is a vibrant Brett Beer that celebrates the delicate intersection of stone fruit and wild fermentation. The addition of fresh apricots introduces a lush, fuzzy sweetness and bright acidity that complements the characteristic fruitiness of a young Brettanomyces profile. Expect a complex interplay of sun-ripened stone fruit aromas layered over subtle notes of wet hay and farmhouse earthiness. Its lean, highly attenuated body provides a crisp canvas for the apricot's natural tartness to shine, finishing bone-dry with a lingering floral and rustic charm. This wild ale balances its expressive fruit character with a restrained, elegant funk, making it both refreshing and sophisticated.
Appearance. Pale golden to light orange (6–8 SRM) with a slight, persistent haze from the fruit addition. Pours with a moderate white head that displays fair retention and fine lacing.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring dominant aromas of fresh, jammy apricots and skins. Supported by yeast-derived esters of tropical fruit and a light wild funk reminiscent of dried hay and soft leather. Malt is very low, presenting a clean, crackery backdrop. No significant hop aroma.
Taste. Initial impression is of bright, tart apricot flesh and a zesty acidity. The malt presence is minimal, providing a lean, bready foundation that quickly gives way to complex fermentation notes of stone fruit and a gentle, earthy funk. Bitterness is very low, allowing the fruit’s natural acidity to provide balance. The finish is remarkably dry and crisp, with a lingering aftertaste of apricot skins and a faint, rustic farmhouse character.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a crisp, effervescent mouthfeel driven by high carbonation. Alcohol warmth is negligible. A very slight, pleasant astringency from the apricot skins adds structure to the dry finish.
