Latus

◎ Aussehen

Deep ruby-garnet hue with amber undertones, characteristic of extended barrel aging. The beer presents good clarity with a thin, tan head that settles quickly, leaving modest lacing on the glass. Carbonation is restrained, befitting the funky, wine-like character of the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with tart red fruit—cherry and plum—layered beneath earthy, funky notes from wild yeast and bacteria. American and French oak contribute vanilla, subtle oak spice, and a dry, slightly musty undertone. Hersbrucker hops add a gentle herbal whisper without dominating the barrel-forward profile.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is immediately tart and dry, with sour cherry and plum flavors building through the mid-palate. Oak and barrel char emerge alongside a peppery, funky character that speaks to the wild fermentation. The five-malt foundation provides subtle sweetness and body, but acidity and dryness drive the palate, with minimal traditional bitterness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is lean and lingering, with tart fruit and dry oak notes persisting through the aftertaste. A slight funkiness and wine-like character fade slowly, leaving the palate refreshed and primed for the next sip.

Serviertemperatur 6–9°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.
