Speciation Artisan Ales Plum Genetic Drift
This foeder-aged Wild Specialty Beer presents a complex harmony between stone fruit and farmhouse funk. The aroma is dominated by ripe purple plums and earthy Brettanomyces notes of leather and hay, supported by subtle oak tannins from the foeder. On the palate, a sharp but refined lactic acidity highlights the jammy plum character, while the underlying Wild Saison base offers a dry, peppery finish. The integration of fruit sugars into the wild fermentation results in a bone-dry profile where the plums provide depth and texture rather than sweetness. A sophisticated, effervescent expression of artisan fermentation that balances tartness with wood-aged structure.
Appearance. SRM 12-16; deep gold to copper with distinct violet and reddish hues from the plums. Slight to moderate haze. Pours with a thin, bubbly, off-white to light pink head that fades quickly to a persistent collar.
Aroma. High intensity; prominent notes of tart plum skins and dark cherry-like esters. A complex wild character features Brettanomyces-driven funk, including hay and moderate horse blanket, alongside a clean lactic sourness. Subtle vanillin and toasted oak from foeder aging are present.
Taste. Sharp, refreshing acidity leads, followed by rich flavors of sun-ripened plum and red grape. The wild fermentation provides an earthy, spicy complexity. Bitterness is very low, as the profile is driven by acidity and fruit tannins. Finishes bone-dry with lingering tart fruit and a hint of wood.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, prickly carbonation. A mild tannic astringency from the plum skins and foeder aging adds structure. Light alcohol warmth is perceptible but well-integrated into the acidic finish.
