Sprung

◎ Appearance

Sprung presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation that delivers steady streams of bubbles. The head is modest but persistent, laying down delicate lacing as the beer is consumed. The overall presentation is bright and inviting, characteristic of a well-executed wild ale fermentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and stone fruit notes that emerge from the mixed culture fermentation, complemented by herbal and resinous dry-hop character. A sharp, clean tartness cuts through the fruit, creating aromatic tension without aggressive funk or barn-yard characters. The overall impression is crisp and herbaceous, inviting repeated sniffs.

◐ Taste

Entry is tart and light, with the acidity immediately asserting itself against a delicate malt backbone. The mid-palate reveals fruity complexity and dry-hop bitterness that interweave with the sharp fermentation character, creating a dynamic interplay between sweetness and sour. The finish is bone-dry, with tartness lingering cleanly without astringency.

◑ Finish

The tartness persists throughout the finish, pulling back any residual sweetness and leaving the palate clean and refreshed. A curious, mouth-watering quality invites the next sip.
