Unity Brewing Co Topped
Fruit Lambic 5 º
This pastry-inspired Wild Specialty Beer strikes a complex balance between bright, lactic acidity and dessert-like indulgence. Deep berry notes from fresh blackberry interlace with the delicate, soft orchard sweetness of pear, while a warm dusting of cinnamon sticks adds a comforting, spiced depth. A prominent addition of rye malt underpins the fruit with a subtle, earthy grain character and a touch of rustic spiciness. The fermentation is cleanly sour, elevating the fruit sugars without cloying sweetness, resulting in a vibrant, multi-layered sour ale that seamlessly bridges the gap between a refreshing quick sour and a decadent spiced pastry.
Appearance. Deep ruby-purple to magenta with a slight, hazy yeast cloudiness. Pours with a moderate, soft pink head that recedes relatively quickly to a thin collar, leaving minimal lacing.
Aroma. High intensity; immediate aroma of ripe blackberries and jammy dark fruits, followed by the soft, sweet perfume of pear. A prominent but well-integrated spicy note of cinnamon sticks follows, balanced by an earthy, slightly spicy grain character from rye malt. A clean, lactic sourness provides a sharp, refreshing background.
Taste. Starts with a sharp, refreshing lactic acidity, immediately bursting with juicy blackberry and subtle pear flavors. The mid-palate reveals the warm, woodsy spice of cinnamon sticks alongside a rustic, earthy breadiness from the rye malt. The finish is dry, clean, and moderately tart, with lingering dark fruit skin and a faint hint of warming spice. Low hop bitterness allows the lactic tartness and fruit to drive the balance.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a soft, slightly round texture enhanced by the rye malt, preventing it from feeling watery despite the acidity. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a lively effervescence. Low alcohol warmth with no noticeable astringency.
