Sonder Brewing Cuvee #1

“Rustic berry aromas meander across the nose. Elderberry offers an earthy grounding, while strong, jammy fruit flavors are overbalanced by a rush of lactic acid. Jammy, puckering, satisfying.”

“Pulpy bright orange color with a steady white head. Passion fruit–mango nose. Tart tangerine flavor has a vinous, almost champagne quality that dances around the fruit components. A moderate amount of sourness lingers slightly on the tongue. One for the white-wine fans.”

Aroma: “Funky and wild with some woody Brettanomyces that leads into light lactic sourness and some tropical pineapple fruit notes. With a touch of pepper and smoke character, this is interesting and intriguing.” Flavor: “Incredible depth of funk, with slight peppercorn character, light briny caper notes. Back-end acidity, with a nice citrus and peach component cleans up and rounds out the broad funk. Finish is soft, not overly dry and puckering, with a very pleasant lingering lemony sourness and a hint of white pepper.” Overall: “Understated complexity without the rough edges you often get from wilder fermentations. A recognizable ‘beer’ character that often gets lost in this style. Refreshing, complex, well-crafted, exquisite.”
