Rough & Crumble is an evocative Wild Specialty Beer that balances a vibrant, fruit-forward profile with the complexity of wild fermentation. Dominated by the deep, brambly character of blackberry and the tart snap of cherry, the sensory experience is layered with a warming blend of spices that suggests cinnamon and clove. A crisp lactic acidity harmonizes with the fruit's natural esters, while the wild yeast imparts a subtle earthy funk. At 6.5% ABV, a gentle warmth integrates with the spices to deliver a cozy winter character. The beer finishes remarkably dry, leaving a lingering impression of dark berry skins and nuanced spice.
Appearance.Deep magenta to ruby-purple hue derived from fruit; pours with a moderate, pink-tinted head with fair retention and light lacing; clarity is slightly hazy due to fruit solids and wild yeast.
Aroma.High intensity aromatics of jammy blackberry and tart red cherry; complex wild fermentation character featuring notes of hay, light leather, and earthy funk; warming spice notes of cinnamon and clove are prominent; malt is low and bread-like.
Taste.Initial impression is sharply tart and intensely fruity with vivid blackberry and cherry flavors; lactic sourness is firm but balanced by the warming spice blend; hop bitterness is low to negligible; fermentation character is dry and funky; finish is bone-dry and clean with a lingering spice and fruit skin astringency.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with high carbonation providing a lively, effervescent texture; light alcohol warmth is present; moderate astringency from fruit tannins enhances the perceived dryness.
