Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Destihl Wild Sour Series Fleur

Appearance

A striking cranberry-pink hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation that rises steadily through the glass. The head is modest but persistent, leaving delicate lacing on the walls with each sip. The bright, jewel-like color signals the presence of hibiscus and rose hips without any haze.

Aroma

The nose opens with tart berry fruit and prominent floral notes from hibiscus and rose hips, creating a perfumed, garden-like character. Subtle citrus undertones emerge alongside a faint tartness that hints at the wild fermentation. The overall impression is bright and inviting, with no harsh vinegar or oxidative notes.

Taste

Immediate tartness dominates the palate, building cleanly without aggressive sourness. The mid-palate reveals berry and subtle floral complexity from the adjuncts, balanced by a bone-dry mouthfeel. Minimal IBU (10) allows the natural acidity and fruit character to lead, with a crisp, refreshing quality throughout.

Finish
