Purchased from Purvis Beer in Melbourne in December 2023 and drunk in April 2024.
L: Clear but deep amber, with the thinnest covering of foam atop the beer. Very few small, slow-moving bubbles can be seen in the beer.
S: The nose is sweet, vinous and funky. There's minerality and wet-cut lawn as well. It's definitely a wild-fermented beer!
T: The taste is sweet, acetic, and vinous. There's a honey-like note at the end that does its best to dampen the almost overbearing tartness that threatens throughout the swallow but manages to keep this side of pleasant.
M: Carbonation is very mild; the beer is almost flat and is not misrepresented by the lack of carbonation in the glass.
O: I seem to begin all of my overviews of sour/tart/wild beers with the statement that I'm not a fan of those styles, and I very much want to repeat that here! I do try to rate to style, though, and I can appreciate the art and alchemy that's gone into producing this wild-fermented beer. I'm not a fan (there it is!) but I imagine there are plenty that are.
Cheers!
