The Rare Barrel Juice Elixir (2020)
Fruit Lambic 7.3 º
This Wild Specialty Beer from The Rare Barrel presents a vibrant golden hue, reflecting its oak-aged base and the addition of orange, carrot, and ginger. The sensory experience is led by a bright, citrusy punch of orange zest, followed by the earthy, subtle sweetness of carrots. A distinctive spicy warmth from ginger provides a sharp, zingy counterpoint to the assertive lactic acidity. Oak aging introduces nuanced wood tannins and a touch of vanilla, rounding out the complex wild fermentation. It is a refreshing, medium-bodied sour that balances funky Brettanomyces notes with a crisp, effervescent finish and a lingering botanical heat.
Appearance. Deep golden to light amber (SRM 6-9) with a slight orange tint. Thin white head with moderate retention and light lacing; clarity is slightly hazy due to the inclusion of vegetable and fruit juices.
Aroma. High intensity aromatics featuring fresh orange peel, floral ginger, and a unique earthy sweetness reminiscent of carrot cake. Fermentation character is prominent, showcasing sharp lactic acid, funky wet hay, and subtle leather notes from Brettanomyces, supported by a faint oaky woodiness.
Taste. The initial impression is sharply acidic and citrus-forward. Orange and earthy carrot flavors provide a lush character, though the beer is fermented quite dry. Ginger offers a spicy, warming mid-palate zing. Minimal crackery malt flavor and very low hop bitterness allow the wild fermentation and botanical ingredients to dominate. The finish is bone-dry, tart, and refreshing.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, spritzy carbonation that enhances the zingy character. There is a noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth and a light tannic astringency from the oak barrels that adds structure.
