This brew was blended from two Sangiovese puncheons of our turbid mashed wild ales; half was barrel aged for eight months, and half was barrel aged for 16 months. We refermented and conditioned the blend on over 700 pounds of blackberries and blackcurrants for three months. Blackcurrants lend bright acidity with flavors reminiscent of passionfruit and black raspberries with plenty of tannins, while the blackberries lend some sweetness and jam-like notes with earthy undertones. Our mixed culture adds some funk and nuance to this fruit forward wild ale.

750 mL bottle. Pours deep red. Smells of deep earthy blackcurrants, notes of vanilla, berry acidity. Tastes quite tart up front, but turns to earthy blackcurrants quickly. Oak, same vanilla notes as the nose, and the blackberry sourness kicks up in the finish. Medium body, pretty strong berry sourness. Quite a nice flavor despite the strong sourness. I like it, but tough to drink much of it.

13 oz tulip glass pour at Lures Bar & Grille. Pours a light purple with a moderate off-white head. Aroma and flavor feature leather, oak, bitter/astringent tannins, tart black currant, a hint of ripe blackberry, funk, vanilla, and hints of pie spice. The predominant flavors are astringent tannins and leather with fruit and oak taking a back seat. Mouthfeel is dry, astringent, and moderately carbonated. Definitely a sipper, but not difficult to drink.

A 750ml corked and capped bottle, bottled on 5th June 2020. Poured into a 3 Fonteinen stemmed glass.

Appearance: A hazy strawberry red with a slight orange hue, and a two finger pinkish head that dissipated quite quickly to a thin replenishing cap, while leaving only sparse lacing.

Aroma: Lightly tart, Ribena, blackcurrant, blackberry, jammy, with nice woody notes.

Taste: Sour, tart, blackcurrant, berry seeds, oak, blackberry, and a touch jammy.

Mouthfeel: Acidic, medium bodied with moderate carbonation.

Overall: The aroma was wonderful, but taste while having great fruity flavours, was on the borderline of being overly sour and acidic for me. I’m also not getting much, if any, funk, which I think would have helped balanced the sour and acidity.
