Mortal Cherry

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden-amber hue with excellent clarity and a delicate white head that settles to a thin ring. Fine lacing clings to the glass with each sip, indicative of the wheat and Pilsner malt foundation. Carbonation is gentle and persistent, creating a softly effervescent surface.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright Montmorency cherry tartness before revealing deeper Balaton stone-fruit character. Subtle spice emerges—a whisper of cinnamon and clove—alongside earthy oak influence from French and Hungarian cooperage. A soft funky undercurrent from wild yeasts adds complexity without harshness, balanced by clean wheat grain notes.

◐ Geschmack

Entry brings immediate cherry tartness paired with flaky pie-crust texture that coats the mid-palate. The wild fermentation creates a sophisticated interplay of sour and funky elements—Lactobacillus and Brettanomyces leave a peppery, slightly vinous character. Oak tannins provide dry grip without overwhelming; bitterness remains restrained at 10 IBU, allowing fruit and spice to lead throughout.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and lingering, with cherry acidity fading gradually into a peppery, slightly astringent aftertaste. Cinnamon spice persists gently on the back palate, leaving a clean and refreshingly tart impression.
