Worlds Collide

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with a delicate, translucent quality characteristic of the style. The beer presents a light, fine head that settles to a thin collar, leaving gentle lacing on the glass. Carbonation appears moderate and refined, contributing to a crisp visual impression.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright jammy red and dark berry fruit—blackberry, blueberry, and strawberry dominate the initial impression. A subtle barnyard earthiness emerges beneath, courtesy of the Brettanomyces culture, layered with a gentle oaken spice from time in French oak. The overall aromatic profile balances wild fermentation character with wine-like fruit complexity.

◐ Geschmack

Entry presents pronounced berry sweetness and ripe fruit character, followed by a medium body that carries the blackberry and stone-fruit notes into the mid-palate. The Tempranillo pomace contact introduces subtle wine-like tannins and complexity. Tartness builds gradually, interwoven with dry, earthy funk from the mixed culture fermentation and a restrained bitterness of 15 IBU that integrates seamlessly.

◑ Abgang

The finish is crisp and snappy, driven by acidity and dry funk that cuts through the residual fruit sweetness. A lingering earthiness and subtle oak persist in the aftertaste, leaving the palate clean and refreshed without harshness.
