Labietis – Kirsu Mezonis 2022 (Cherry Wildling)

A unique ale brewed with Brettanomyces lambicus since April of 2022 and matured on fresh cherries at ratio of 1/3 since July. The result is an ale with explicitly redish berry like acidity and a rich spiciness of wild yeast esters and phenols. All this in a carmine red with a penetrating fruitiness that belies the alcohol content. Maturation on cherrywood chips before bottling gives the ale a gently smoky sweetness with a pleasantly dry aftertaste that makes the glass empty faster than perhaps it should.
