My Tart Will Go On
Rustic Leaf Brewing Company

16 ounce crowler into tulip glass, filled on 6/19/2020. Pours very hazy deep ruby red/orange/amber color with a 1 finger dense and rocky light pink head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy blackberries, fruit skin/seed, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of blackberries, fruity/acidic yeast, and pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big juicy/tart/tangy blackberries, fruit skin/seed, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tart/sourness, and fruit tang on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/sour blackberries, fruit skin/seed, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of blackberries, fruity/acidic yeast, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with an awesome malt/tart/sourness balance, and no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering tart/sourness, fruit tang, and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and medium body;l with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy, and acidic/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.8%. Overall this is an awesome fruited Berliner weisse. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of blackberries, fruity/acidic yeast, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/clean/refreshing to drink, with the modestly acidic/tangy/drying finish; nicely soft and not overly lactic. Awesome balance of juicy/jammy fruit and lacto complexity; with a great clean wheat/malt backbone against acidity. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive spot on style example as expected of the brewery.
