Einder - Barrel-aged wild blonde ale with mirabelles.

Einder has that balmy, languid feeling of an oncoming sunset, with golden clouds framing a yellow sun that falls on the horizon. The sounds of the day slowly fade, while the living heat is still trapped in a billion grains of sand. High tide crawls towards you, a sea gull screeches in the distance, but nothing can take away the sense that life is pretty good, right here, right now.

Einder is a remarkable tart beer with warm notes of plum, lemon and almond. Buckwheat, rye and unmalted grains create a full body that is interlaced with luscious fruity aromas. The mirabelles were gathered in foodforest Ketelbroek, where we visited every week for one month to pick the fallen plums from the ground. Einder was aged on oak barrels for 12 months.

Pours a clear, golden amber coloration with a small, frothy head that recedes quickly. Smells of doughy malt, with a distinct plum aroma and lighter, estery notes of green apple, apricot, lemon rind and white pepper, with just a hint of musty funk and oak as well. Taste is a good balance of doughy malt, a quite vibrant and distinct plum presence and lighter fruity and slightly spicy yeast esters of green apple, apricot, lemon rind and white pepper, as well as some light, musty funk and oak also coming through, with a strong, underlying acidity. Finishes with a medium acidity and some plum, green apple and lemon rind lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

A very nice fruited Wild Ale with a distinct, vibrant plum presence that is supported by additional tart and fruity esters, with just a hint of spicy accents and some mild funk and oak rounding things out nicely, although the pronounced, quite zesty, almost mouth-puckering citric acidity seems to muscle into a foreground just a tad too much here, while not leaving the subtle esters quite enough room to breathe. Overall this makes for an enjoyable, quite fruity and refreshing brew that is just a touch too sour for my personal taste though, while I would have also wished for those musty funk and oak notes to shine through a little more.
