Wild Beer Chronos
Lager 5.8 º
This foudre-aged American Lager bridges the gap between traditional crispness and wild complexity. Lagered for over a month in massive 7000-liter Napa Valley oak vessels, the beer presents a refined profile where time has melded lager yeast with Brettanomyces. The sensory experience is defined by distinctive notes of overripe oranges and dry hay, supported by a delicate, rounded oak character. Despite its rustic fermentation, it maintains the easy-drinking nature of a classic lager, finishing exceptionally dry and clean. It is a sophisticated, time-honored expression of wood-aging that elevates a neutral base into something multifaceted and elegant.
Appearance. Very pale straw to medium yellow in color with brilliant clarity. It supports a frothy white head with moderate retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a unique blend of clean, grainy malt and rustic fermentation. Primary aromas include overripe oranges and dry hay derived from Brettanomyces, accented by subtle floral hop notes and a faint, sweet vanilla-oak presence from the foudre.
Taste. The initial impression is crisp and neutral with a light grainy malt sweetness that quickly transitions into a complex, dry palate. Flavors of citrus zest and earthy hay are balanced by a low bitterness. The finish is remarkably dry and clean, with a lingering delicate wood character and a soft, rounded aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation that provides a refreshing carbonic bite. The mouthfeel is notably rounded and smooth due to its time in oak, with no astringency and a subtle hint of alcohol warmth.
