Piety

◎ Appearance

Piety presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity, revealing its light body and delicate structure. The head forms modestly but maintains a fine, persistent lacing along the glass as you drink, characteristic of wild fermentation. Carbonation appears gentle, supporting the beer's refined presentation without aggression.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced funky, earthy notes from wild yeasts, layered beneath bright tart cherry aromatics and subtle red wine barrel character. Secondary notes of oak and dried dark fruit emerge, creating a complex interplay between fermentation funk and fruit-forward sweetness. The overall impression suggests an aged wine cellar crossed with a fruit preserve.

◐ Taste

The palate opens tart and slightly funky, with lactobacillus and brettanomyces providing a structured sourness that frames bright cherry and plum flavors. Mid-palate brings subtle oak tannins and a restrained sweetness that balances the acidity without cloying. Low bitterness (10 IBU) allows the wild character and fruit to dominate, finishing with a dry, slightly dusty sensation.

◑ Finish

The finish trails with lingering acidity and a dry oak impression, the funk and fruit gradually fading into a crisp, refreshing aftertaste. Complexity persists without heaviness, inviting another sip.
