Prepare to embark on a flavor odyssey with 8 Wired's Pilsner Re-fermented With Brett. This unique craft beer blends the crisp, refreshing qualities of a traditional Pilsner with the captivating complexity of Brettanomyces yeast. The beer pours a hazy straw-gold hue, topped with a delicate white head that quickly dissipates. The aroma is an intriguing interplay of barnyard, horse blanket, and farmhouse notes, complemented by hints of citrus, apple, and guava. As you take the first sip, the Pilsner-like base delivers a bright hop bitterness and subtle malt sweetness. But as the beer warms, the Brettanomyces yeast takes center stage, transforming the flavor profile with earthy, funky, and tart characteristics. Hints of acidity and fruity esters add to the overall complexity. The medium-bodied mouthfeel is enhanced by a lively carbonation, creating a refreshing and stimulating texture. The subtle dryness provided by the yeast contributes to the beer's intricate finish, which lingers on the palate with a lasting impression of funkiness and intrigue. 8 Wired's Pilsner Re-fermented With Brett is a daring and innovative brew, perfect for adventurous beer enthusiasts who appreciate the unique and nuanced flavors of wild fermentation.
