Vercierderij Spontaan 2021
Vercierderij Spontaan 2021 is a vibrant, wild-fermented tribute to traditional high-standard orchards. This blend of unsprayed apples and pears yields a rustic, farmhouse-inspired profile defined by its lively acidity and distinctive funk. On the palate, the interplay between the crisp tartness of the fruit and the softer, rounded aromatics of the pears is complemented by complex earthy and leathery notes born from spontaneous fermentation. Brilliantly effervescent and bone dry, it offers a sophisticated sensory experience that bridges the gap between traditional cidermaking and wild ale craftsmanship, finishing with a sharp, clean, and refreshing fruit-skin snap.
Appearance. 4–7 SRM. Pale gold to bright amber. Very low head retention with white bubbles that dissipate quickly, leaving minimal lacing. Generally clear with a faint, natural haze.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Dominated by fresh green apple, bruised pear, and a distinct rustic funk reminiscent of wet hay and leather. Sharp acidic notes are present, with no detectable malt or hop character.
Taste. Initial impression is sharply tart and refreshing. Pronounced flavors of crisp apple and mellow pear. Fermentation character is complex, featuring lactic sourness and a lingering barnyard funk. Zero hop bitterness. The finish is bone dry and very clean, with a subtle woody or skin-tannin astringency.
Mouthfeel. Light to medium-light body. High carbonation provides a prickly, champagne-like effervescence. Very low alcohol warmth. Moderate astringency from fruit tannins.
