Wild Mountain: Nectarine

◎ Aussehen

A pale golden hue with notably hazy clarity, characteristic of the mixed culture and wheat blend. Fine carbonation produces a modest white head that demonstrates moderate retention and lacing. The cloudiness speaks to the living yeast and Lacto Brevis cultures at work.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright stone fruit—nectarine and peach prominence backed by creamy vanilla bean notes. A pronounced funky undertone emerges from the mixed culture fermentation, layered with soft wheat grain and subtle herbal-citrus notes from Mosaic and Wai-iti hops. The aromatic intensity is striking and multidirectional.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is sweet and fruit-forward, with nectarine and vanilla dominating the mid-palate. The mixed fermentation introduces a dry, peppery funk that balances the fruit sweetness, while wheat provides a soft, yeasty scaffold. Bitterness remains restrained at 28 IBU, allowing the adjuncts and fermentation character to lead; finish dries progressively.

◑ Abgang

The finish is medium in length, trailing off with lingering peach stone, vanilla, and a gently drying peppery note. A crisp, refreshing quality persists into the aftertaste.
