Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for MASK OF ETERNITY
◎ Appearance
A hazy, burnished gold pours beneath a delicate white head that settles to a thin collar. The turbidity from wild yeast fermentation creates an inviting, lived-in appearance characteristic of barrel-aged Belgian sours. Carbonation is moderate and integrated, supporting a fine bead without aggression.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with bright lactic tartness that immediately frames the character, layered over earthy oak and subtle funky notes from Lactobacillus activity. Stone fruit and citrus peel emerge behind the primary sourness, with whispers of vanilla oak integration rounding the overall bouquet without overwhelming the acidity.
◐ Taste
Entry brings crisp acidity that defines the palate, balanced by gentle malt sweetness that prevents harshness. Mid-palate reveals layered complexity: vanilla and woody notes from patient barrel aging sit alongside dark fruit undertones, while a persistent but refined sourness maintains tension throughout. The interplay between oak tannins and lactic bite creates a sophisticated, dynamic mouthfeel.
◑ Finish
The finish is pleasingly dry and refreshingly tart, with lingering sourness that gradually subsides into a gentle woody dryness. Complexity persists in the aftertaste, rewarding extended contemplation and encouraging another sip.
