This Wild Specialty Beer captures a dessert-inspired profile, weaving vibrant fruit with creamy textures. Leading with an aroma of sun-ripened pineapple and zesty lemon juice, the palate is immediately struck by the bright, acidic pop of Michigan tart cherry. The addition of lactose sugar and vanilla ice cream provides a silky, medium-bodied counterpoint to the sharp acidity, successfully mimicking the flavors of a pineapple upside-down cake. While the fermentation character is cleanly lactic, the complex interplay between tropical fruit, stone fruit, and rich vanilla creates a balanced, indulgent experience that belies its sessionable strength.
Appearance.Opaque, coral-orange hue with visible fruit sediment; pours with a thin, bubbly white head that dissipates quickly with minimal lacing.
Aroma.High intensity aromatics of fresh pineapple, tart cherry, and lemon zest, underscored by a sweet, marshmallow-like vanilla and a clean, tangy lactic acidity; malt is undetectable.
Taste.Bold tropical pineapple and acidic lemon juice on the initial impression, quickly rounded by sweet lactose and rich vanilla flavors. The finish features a lingering Michigan tart cherry snap and a refreshing acidity; zero hop bitterness with a balanced sweet-and-sour profile.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a creamy, coating texture from the lactose and vanilla; moderate carbonation provides a refreshing lift despite the fruit density; no alcohol warmth present.
