Místní Černá Višeň 14°

◎ Aussehen

Deep garnet red with mahogany highlights, translucent and bright despite the dark color. Fine carbonation creates a modest tan head that settles quickly, leaving delicate rings of lacing on the glass. The beer presents a clean, jewel-like clarity characteristic of a well-executed kettle sour.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with tart sour cherry, joined by subtle cocoa and a whisper of roasted grain. The sour profile dominates without harshness, while Munich and chocolate malts add a soft, earthy foundation. A gentle herbaceous note from Žatec Poloraný červeňák hops threads through the background.

◐ Geschmack

Bright acidity from 150 kg of sour cherries drives the palate, balanced by dry tannin and a chocolate note that echoes the aroma without sweetness. The malt structure—Pilsner, Munich, Carared, chocolate, and chocolate wheat—provides body and a subtle roasted character. Bitterness remains restrained at 20 IBU, allowing the fruit-acid-cocoa interplay to remain central.

◑ Abgang

The finish is crisp and dry, with lingering tart cherry and a faint cocoa dryness that persists without astringency. A refreshing quality emerges as carbonation fades, inviting another sip.
