Summer Ribes

◎ Aussehen

Summer Ribes presents a pale straw color with a slightly hazy appearance, characteristic of its wild ale fermentation and fruit integration. The head is modest but stable, with fine carbonation creating a delicate bead that recedes gradually, leaving subtle lacing on the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by ripe redcurrant and blackcurrant, presenting fresh, jammy notes with a subtle tartness underneath. Oak from the barrel aging emerges as a secondary note, adding gentle vanilla and wood spice, while a light funky character from wild fermentation provides earthy complexity.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens juicy and fruit-forward, with the currants providing bright acidity and natural sweetness. The oak baseline supports without dominating, allowing the tart berry character to shine; a dry finish emerges as the wild yeast complexity unfolds mid-palate, with a hint of funky, herbaceous funk balancing the fruit.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and lingering, with residual tart currant notes and a subtle woody astringency fading slowly. The funky wild ale character persists gently on the aftertaste, leaving a clean, slightly herbal impression.
