Blackcurrant Sorbet

◎ Appearance

An striking purple hue, pale and luminous, marks this beer as visually distinctive—a colour rarely encountered in the glass. The clarity is bright, with light transmission revealing the intensity of the blackcurrant purée infusion. A modest, creamy white head forms and settles gently, leaving soft traces of lacing on the glass as the beer is consumed.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by ripe blackcurrant and dark berry character, with an immediate fruity and slightly tart impression. Beneath the fruit lies a subtle wheat grain softness and a whisper of floral aromatics, while the lactic acid fermentation contributes a gentle tartness that keeps the nose refreshing rather than cloying.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright acidity and blackcurrant tartness, which gradually rounds into a softer, riper fruit sweetness mid-way through. The wheat and oat base provides a soft, creamy texture alongside subtle malt character, while the lactose adds body and a gentle sweetness that balances the sour frame. Bitterness is minimal, allowing the fruit and fermentation character to take centre stage.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with the tartness lingering gently on the palate without becoming astringent. A dry, slightly fruity aftertaste fades steadily, leaving the mouth pleasantly crisp and prepared for the next sip.
