Terra Aspra Tallarol is an evocative interpretation of a Berliner Weisse, distinguished by its striking deep purple hue derived from a generous addition of blackberries. This refreshing, low-alcohol ale presents a vibrant sensory profile where sharp, clean lactic acidity intertwines with the natural tartness and jammy depth of fresh berries. A delicate foundation of doughy wheat malt provides a subtle structural counterpoint to the dominant fruit character. Effervescent and crisp, it finishes bone-dry, capturing the essence of the bird it is named after—the Tallarol—which thrives on wild berries. It is a highly sessionable and visually arresting sour ale that emphasizes bright fruit over funk.
