Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for WE ARE WHO WE PRETEND TO BE
◎ Appearance
Pours a hazy pale golden straw with luminous clarity despite suspended yeast and fine sediment. A delicate, evanescent head forms and subsides quickly, leaving minimal lacing on the glass. The carbonation is lively and persistent, visible as fine bubbles rising through the body.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with assertive tart green apple and lemon rind, immediately engaging the senses. A striking horse blanket funk—earthy, musty, characteristically wild—underlies the citrus, with a whisper of aged oak adding complexity. The aromatic profile is confident and unconventional, reflecting the spontaneous fermentation at its core.
◐ Taste
Acidity drives the palate from entry onward, with flavors of wild cherry and fresh hay emerging alongside aged citrus peel. A pleasingly dry, bready complexity underpins the fruit and tartness, creating layers of interest. The mouthfeel is light and effervescent, never cloying, allowing the wild character to dominate without heaviness.
◑ Finish
The finish is long, clean, and bracingly dry with a lingering tartness that invites reflection and encourages another sip. Residual acidity and the faint echo of hay persist on the palate without becoming fatiguing.
