This Wild Specialty Beer offers a vibrant sensory journey defined by its namesake ingredient. A sharp, zesty tang immediately commands the palate, driven by a generous addition of juicy rhubarb that provides a distinctive, vegetal-fruit acidity. The sensory profile is remarkably fresh and lively, evoking springtime with its bright, tangy kick. Beneath the refreshing tartness lies a delicate thread of malt sweetness that provides enough structural support to prevent the acidity from becoming overwhelming. Clean fermentation notes allow the rhubarb's primary characteristics to shine, resulting in a crisp, invigorating, and beautifully balanced sour ale.
Appearance.Pale straw to light golden with a delicate pinkish hue from the rhubarb. Clarity is clear to slightly hazy. Head is white, fast-fading with minimal lacing.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity of sharp, tangy rhubarb and bright lactic acidity. Low bready malt sweetness is present in the background. Hop aroma is absent, with a clean fermentation profile devoid of heavy funk.
Taste.Initial sharp, zesty acidity leads into juicy rhubarb flavors that are both tart and tangy. A subtle malt sweetness balances the acidity without cloying. Bitterness is low to non-existent, finishing very dry and refreshing with a lingering rhubarb brightness.
Mouthfeel.Light-bodied with high carbonation that creates a prickly, lively sensation. Alcohol warmth is negligible. A slight, pleasant astringency from the rhubarb enhances the dry, crisp finish.
