Wicked Weed Brewing

Myrtille is a sophisticated Brett Beer, built upon a golden ale base and aged in neutral wine barrels. The inclusion of two pounds per gallon of fresh, whole North Carolina grown blueberries defines the experience, imparting a deep, jewel-toned elegance and an earthy, tannic structure. The aroma is a complex tapestry of ripe berries and the distinctive house Brett culture, offering notes of wet hay and stone fruit. On the palate, the vinous character of the neutral wine barrels is balanced by the fruit's natural skin tannins and a bone-dry finish. Effervescent and refined, it showcases a masterful blend of wild fermentation and local harvest.

Appearance. Deep purple to crimson (SRM 25-30) with a vibrant, lavender-tinted head that shows moderate retention and fine lacing; the body displays a slight haze from the heavy fruit addition and Brett presence.

Aroma. High intensity of fresh, jammy blueberries and earthy fruit skins; house Brett character contributes moderate barnyard funk, wet hay, and subtle tropical stone fruit esters over a neutral, cracker-like malt base and faint oak vanillin.

Taste. The initial impression is dominated by tart, concentrated blueberry juice and tannic berry skins; the house Brett culture adds a complex, earthy funk and a hint of leather; malt flavor is minimal and supportive, finishing bone-dry with a lingering, slightly acidic fruitiness and low hop bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, effervescent carbonation; a light tannic astringency from the North Carolina grown blueberries and oak barrels provides structure; low alcohol warmth with a crisp, refreshing mouthfeel.
