Sori Brewing

This Wild Specialty Beer presents a vibrant sensory interplay between bright fruit and dark, earthy spice. Dominated by the punchy, vinous character of ripe blackberries, the profile is immediately lifted by a sharp, lactic acidity typical of wild fermentation. This tartness is intricately balanced by a subtle, medicinal undertone of licorice, providing an intriguing depth that anchors the more flighty fruit notes. The result is a complex, fruit-forward experience where the jammy sweetness of the berries is tempered by a dry, funky finish and a lingering, spicy intrigue, showcasing a playful yet sophisticated balance that remains refreshing despite its dark complexity.

Appearance. Deep, saturated burgundy to dark purple (SRM 20-30). Pours with a moderate, pink-tinted head that shows fair to poor retention. Overall appearance is hazy to nearly opaque due to the heavy fruit addition.

Aroma. High intensity with dominant jammy blackberry notes and a distinct herbal, anise-like licorice character. The wild fermentation provides a sharp, clean lactic tartness alongside a subtle earthy funk. Low to no malt or hop presence is detected, allowing the specialty ingredients to lead.

Taste. Initial impression is sharply tart and fruit-forward, featuring rich blackberry juice and skins. The mid-palate introduces a cheeky twist of licorice, adding woody and spicy depth without being overwhelming. Bitterness is very low, as the profile is driven by acidity. The finish is quite dry and crisp, with lingering berry esters and a faint medicinal spice.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that enhances the perceived acidity. Very low alcohol warmth at 5.5% ABV. A slight tannic astringency from the blackberry skins and licorice root provides a structured, drying sensation on the tongue.
