Fruit Beer 10 º 15 IBU

Urban Artifact

This potent Fruit Beer presents an intense sensory explosion, embodying the brewery's signature fruit-heavy approach. Vibrant red dragon fruit provides a striking visual and earthy foundation, while balaton cherries contribute a deep, tart stone fruit complexity. Tropical layers of sharp passionfruit and sweet pineapple weave through the profile, creating a complex punch-like acidity that expertly masks the significant 10% ABV. The clean lactic tang of the base beer balances the massive fruit load, ensuring the finish remains refreshing despite its strength. It is a bold, multi-layered expression of real fruit, where the interplay of natural sweetness and sharp acidity defines the experience.

Appearance. Deep, vibrant magenta with a dense, pink-tinted head that shows moderate retention and light lacing. The appearance is opaque and thick, reflecting the heavy fruit saturation and absence of filtration.

Aroma. High intensity of fresh, jammy fruit. Prominent aromas of tart balaton cherries and sharp, tropical passionfruit dominate the nose. Underlying notes of earthy red dragon fruit and sweet, floral pineapple provide significant depth. Malt is largely hidden, offering only a faint bready sweetness. Hop aroma is absent, and the fermentation character is clean with a sharp, lemony lactic edge.

Taste. Initial impression is a sharp, refreshing lactic tang followed immediately by a wave of complex fruit. Balaton cherries provide a bright acidity and stone fruit depth, while passionfruit adds a tropical citrus zing. The red dragon fruit and pineapple contribute a subtle sweetness that rounds out the mid-palate. Bitterness is very low, allowing the fruit’s natural acidity and tannins to provide structure. The finish is long and fruit-forward, ending with a clean, puckering dryness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a thick, almost pulpy texture resulting from the heavy fruit addition. Carbonation is moderate, providing a slight lift to the heavy density. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present, well-integrated into the tart fruit profile. No harsh astringency is noted, though a light fruit-skin grip persists on the tongue.
