Femme Fanale

◎ Appearance

Femme Fanale presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a delicate mousse that settles into a thin, persistent lace. The light straw color and bright transparency showcase the quality of the fresh cherry ingredient without any haze or sediment. The carbonation is refined and gentle, befitting the beer's elegant character.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by vibrant sour cherry—bright, ripe, and unmistakably fresh, with no artificial character. Beneath the fruit lies a subtle earthy funkiness typical of wild fermentation, lending complexity without overpowering the primary cherry character. A faint suggestion of acidity and subtle tannin rounds out the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a crisp, puckering cherry tartness that immediately engages the mouth without any residual sweetness. The body is light and refreshing, allowing the cherry flavor to unfold throughout the mid-palate with a dry, slightly tannic finish that recalls cherry skin and pit. Bitterness is minimal at 10 IBU, instead replaced by a clean sourness that cleanses the palate with each sip.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and lingering, with cherry tartness and a subtle funky note persisting on the palate. A pleasant acidity leaves the mouth feeling refreshed and eager for the next sip, with no cloying aftertaste.
