Country Funk

◎ Aussehen

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass. The beer presents bright, translucent edges that catch light elegantly, suggesting a well-attenuated fermentation. Carbonation is moderate and even, appropriate for the beer's restrained ABV and mixed-culture character.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright acidity and subtle oak character from two decades in wood, followed by a gentle farmhouse funk—earthy and herbaceous rather than aggressive. Beneath these sits a delicate yeasty character with hints of dried fruit and a whisper of white wine-like complexity. The overall impression is refined restraint, never overpowering.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is clean and moderately tart, with the sourness building smoothly across the mid-palate without sharpness. Oak tannins provide gentle structure and a drying quality, while the mixed-culture yeast contributes a dry, slightly funky character that feels integrated rather than jarring. Minimal bitterness (15 IBU) keeps the focus on acid and wood.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderately long, with lingering tartness and a subtle woody dryness that invites another sip. Aftertaste remains crisp and vinous without any medicinal harshness.
