Ca' del Brado
Tap to rate
🌍 Italy · American Wild Ale · One of 9 American Wild Ales in hopIQ

A light and effervescent wild ale refermented on ripe Italian white peaches from local farms near Bologna. Pale gold with a peachy haze and a fine white head; the nose is delicate and fruity with fresh peach, a subtle wild funk and light citrus. The palate is refreshingly sour and bright with juicy peach flavour balanced by the acidity of mixed fermentation, a light body and a clean, dry finish. Ca' del Brado's most approachable summer sour.

Very crisp and dry.

A direct pour that closes clean — trim and sharp, working together to keep things moving.

Wider bands mean we're less certain about the exact position.

Aroma

The nose opens with fresh, ripe peach at the forefront, supported by a subtle wild funk characteristic of mixed fermentation. Delicate citrus notes emerge on closer inspection, while the overall impression remains clean and inviting rather than funky-dominant. The bouquet is restrained and approachable, showcasing restraint typical of well-executed wild ales.

Taste

The palate enters bright and refreshingly sour, with juicy peach flavour balanced seamlessly by the acidity of mixed fermentation. Mid-palate remains light-bodied and crisp, allowing the fruit character to shine without heaviness. The low IBU count (15) means bitterness plays a supporting role, letting the interplay of acidity and peach take centre stage.
