In 2019, The Wild Beer Co, and Firestone Walker Barrelworks once again pull two continents together or the uniquely imaginative Violet Underground Cross-Atlantic Wild Ale. To create this cuvee, we tapped into native Somerset Wild, a proprietary wild yeast used solely by Wild Beer Co. at their facility in England. Sunrise Raspberries and a youthful batch of Bretta Weisse were aged in French Oak Foeders. This aromatic concoction was then blended with a mystical fermentation of French candied violet petals and Somerset Wild Saison. The resulting potion is bursting with aromas of ripe fresh fruit and hints of botanical spice. All anchored together with an expressive native wild yeast.

0.375l cork top bottle. Aroma of wine, berries, flowers, barnyard and wood. Pours clear amber color with quickly diminishing off-white head, yeast residue and sparkling appearance. Taste starts tart vinous, citrusy and woody,
follows by raspberries and flowers with relatively smooth mouthfeel. Light body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. Flower sour power…

Bottled 2/15/19. Clear yellow, unstable white head. Smell is fruity, tart, woody. Light body, but not thin, soft carbonation, slight pucker. Taste is tart, dry, but with a memory of sweetness. Lots of oak, subtle raspberry, some floral notes. Quite nice!
