Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Voór

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, delicate head that leaves thin traces of lacing. The carbonation is gentle and persistent, creating a soft effervescence typical of wild ale aging. Light catches the liquid with a luminous quality reflecting its low color intensity.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit, layered beneath earthy funk and oak character from extended barrel aging. A subtle plum note emerges alongside farmhouse yeast complexity, creating an inviting yet unpredictable aromatic profile. The wild microbial culture adds a slightly musty, forest-floor quality that grounds the fruit and acid.

◐ Taste

The palate is dominated by tart acidity and pleasant sourness that coat the mouth without aggression. Citrus, plum, and woody barrel notes build through the mid-palate, while the low 10 IBU allows the souring microbes and wood tannins to define the bitterness. The finish remains dry and crisp, with a lingering herbal-funky quality.
