Speciation Artisan Ales The Laurentian Series: Dry Hopped Cuvée Des Grands Lacs
This sophisticated spontaneous ale blends wild ferments from across the Great Lakes, matured in neutral charred oak to develop a classic Gueuze complexity. The nose is a vibrant interplay of traditional barnyard funk and leathery notes, elevated by the bright, citrusy punch of Cascade and Chinook hops. On the palate, a balanced lactic acidity carries layers of apricots and caramelized pineapple, while the dry-hopping introduces refreshing grapefruit zest and a subtle hint of pine. Effervescent and bone-dry, it marries the rustic soul of a Belgian-style blend with the bold, aromatic profile of American hops.
Appearance. Deep golden color (6 SRM) with a thick, mousse-like white head that exhibits excellent persistence; brilliant clarity with highly active, effervescent carbonation.
Aroma. High intensity; complex funk featuring leather and wet hay is balanced by sharp lactic acidity. Prominent hop-derived grapefruit and resinous pine from the Cascade and Chinook additions meld with esters of dried apricot and green apple over a light, bready wheat malt base.
Taste. Initial sharp tartness transitions into a complex mid-palate of caramelized pineapple and stone fruit. Moderate funk of horse blanket and earth provides depth. Hop flavors of citrus rind and pine are distinct but integrated with the acidity. Finish is bone-dry and crisp with a lingering tartness and faint oak tannin.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a soft, velvety texture despite the high, prickly carbonation. Notable puckering acidity without harshness; light alcohol warmth is well-integrated.
