Description
Spontaneous fermentation was on the beginning of beer history. It can be found in just a handful of breweries. This beer style is unique. Come and taste the forgotten flavors with us!
Wild Creatures is an experimental brewery from Mikulov, founded by Jitka Ilčíková. All their beers are fermented in a purely natural way, without the addition of yeast. Jitka gradually discovers the charms and insidiousness of wild spontaneous fermentation. Coming from a wine region and also having a small family winery, she can combine fermentation with different varieties of wine and other fruits to create imaginative taste creations that must find their way to your taste buds.
At first, the brewery produced beers for the foreign market and they collected awards around the world, and only with the advent of the pandemic did they think about production for the domestic market and started bottling in luxurious bottles.

0,75l bottle at home. Vintage 2020. deep red color, small white head. smells balsamic, cherry notes, oak, more berries. nice smell. full body, soft carbonation. tastes cherries, marzipan, bit balsamic, light marzipan, lactic. finishes rather dry and medium sour with notes of cherries, lactic and marzipan notes. good overall, but rather on the lactic/balsamic side, lacks some funk, tad too sourish, good but my least favorite Wild creatures beer so far.

Bottle at Craft Beer Brno. Thin body, low carbonation. Very soft rounded character, significant funk, horsey, hay, grassy. Also moderate flowery presence, nice meadow feeling. Medium sourness, but once again very soft, with a subtle acetic note. Low sweetness. Very easy drinking, tasty, complex, yet soft. Needs more bubbles though, is almost still.
