Wild At Heart

◎ Appearance

Deep ruby red with garnet edges, holding a translucent quality that reveals the beer's vibrant hue against light. A modest tan head forms initially, settling into delicate lacing that clings to the glass. Fine carbonation rises steadily, creating a soft, effervescent quality typical of the style.

◌ Aroma

Bright red fruit notes—tart cherry and raspberry—emerge prominently, supported by a subtle earthy funkiness characteristic of Flanders fermentation. Light hints of vinegar and mineral acidity weave through, with soft stone fruit undertones that avoid any harsh or vinegary sharpness. The nose is dry and inviting rather than aggressive.

◐ Taste

Entry delivers immediate acidity and tartness, coating the palate with sour cherry and dried berry character. The mid-palate develops a dry, slightly funky complexity—a whisper of wild yeast and lactic tang—while residual fruit sweetness provides subtle balance. Bitterness remains low and refined, allowing the tart and sour character to dominate without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and persistent, trailing dry acidity and faint fruit echo without cloying sweetness. A gentle astringency frames the conclusion, inviting another sip.
