This Wild Specialty Beer offers a nostalgic sensory profile reminiscent of a frozen summer treat. Vibrant Michigan Tart Cherries provide a bold, acidic backbone complemented by the sharp, citrusy zip of Key Lime juice. The assertive fruit tartness is masterfully rounded by the inclusion of vanilla ice cream, vanilla extract, and lactose sugar, which contribute a luscious, velvety sweetness and a smooth, dessert-like texture. On the nose, bright red fruit and lime zest mingle with a rich, marshmallow-like vanilla aroma. The experience is a playful balance between puckering sourness and a creamy finish that lingers with a soft, confectionary charm.
Appearance.Deep pink to reddish hue (10-15 SRM) from the Michigan Tart Cherries; hazy to opaque clarity due to fruit solids and lactose. The head is pinkish-white with moderate retention and light lacing.
Aroma.High intensity aromatics of freshly squeezed Key Lime and bright, acidic cherry. Strong secondary notes of sweet vanilla bean and cream from the lactose and ice cream additions. Fermentation character is clean and lactic, with no significant hop aroma.
Taste.Initial impression is sharply tart, driven by the citrus acidity of Key Lime and the natural tang of Michigan Tart Cherries. The mid-palate is significantly softened by sweet vanilla and a rich, milky sweetness from lactose. Bitterness is virtually absent, allowing the fruit acidity to provide balance. The finish is long and creamy, tasting of cherry-lime sherbet and vanilla cream.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a notable creaminess and weight provided by the lactose and ice cream. Carbonation is moderate, providing enough lift to prevent the sweetness from becoming cloying. Low alcohol warmth; very slight fruit skin astringency.
