Coolship Camerise

◎ Appearance

Ruby red in color with excellent clarity and a delicate white head that settles to a fine lacing on the glass. The carbonation is gentle and persistent, appropriate to the beer's wild fermentation and extended aging in oak. Light catches the beer with a warm, translucent glow.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh red berry—raspberry and blueberry—over winey Concord grape notes that reflect both the honeyberries and extended oak aging. Beneath sits a subtle earthy funk from the spontaneous fermentation, balanced by soft notes of aged wood. A light herbal quality from the whole-leaf hops provides structure without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is bright and tart, with honeyberry character unfolding into layers of raspberry and darker stone fruit. The palate is dry and refined, with the raw wheat and barley providing a lean frame while oak adds gentle tannin and vanilla undertones. Bitterness is restrained at 10 IBU, allowing the fruit and fermentation complexity to take focus, with the beer remaining well-balanced throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and refreshing, with lingering tartness and a whisper of grape-like astringency that fades gracefully. The aftertaste remains clean and gently funky, inviting another sip.
