Andrassil

Tap to rate

Sour, tart and fruity, aged for nine months on apricot and peach. Andrassil, or "Crown of the Snow", is a collaborative grafting of Calusa's foeder fermented mixed culture table beer with foeder fermented and wine barrel aged mixed culture golden ales from Webb's City Cellar. The name is a gaming reference to a world tree. 5.5% ABV.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Andrassil

◎ Appearance

Pale golden in color with excellent clarity, characteristic of a well-integrated mixed fermentation. The head is delicate and fine-grained, displaying notable Schaumhaftung that clings to the glass in thin, persistent lacing. Carbonation is gentle and restrained, appropriate to the beer's table-ale origins.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright, stone-fruit aromatics—ripe peach and apricot dominate—layered beneath soft herbal and wine-barrel oak notes. A mild funkiness emerges in the background, the signature of mixed-culture fermentation, mingling with subtle vinous and hay-like undertones. The overall impression is complex without harshness.

◐ Taste

Entry is immediately tart, with peach and apricot acidity framing a lean, dry palate. Mid-palate develops funky, slightly tannic oak complexity alongside continued stone-fruit tartness, while herbal bitterness provides subtle structure beneath the fruit. The finish is bone-dry, with acidity lingering distinctly.

◑ Finish

The finish extends cleanly with persistent acidity and a refined dryness. Stone-fruit and herbal notes fade gradually, leaving a pleasantly austere, wine-like aftertaste.
