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.

(Draught at Stockholm Beer & Whisky Festival, 29 Sep 2022) Hazy dark red colour with creamy, pink head. Fruity, sourish nose with notes of cherries, red fruit, wild berries, almonds and vanilla. Fruity, tart taste with cherries, raspberries, red fruit, lemon, almonds, vanilla and a dry and tart finish. Medium body, quite dry. Rich and really tasty, with a fresh acidity and a rich red fruit character. Great beer!

Copper colour with lasting thin head. Sharp, fruity aroma with lots of wood. Fruity and tangy taste. Lots of woody dryness. Acidity goes in the direction of a vinegary Vlaams Bruin but not as harsh.

Bottle courtesy of Marko, tasted with the München Ratebeer Group Christmas Tasting Friday 2nd December 2022. Pours dirty brown with a slim head, apparently it was a huge gusher. Really tart and zappy, dry and I get a little raspberry. Nice

0.75l bottle from somewhere, shared at the Garching Xmas tasting, while Ghost - Year Zero is playing in the background, of course. A huge gusher, probably 0.4l just burst outside. Murky reddish-amber body, off-white head. Lovely raspberry-cherry, soft aroma, nothing to add or take there almost, jammy, very lightly funky. Lean, tart, soft taste, funk with a hefty dose of raspberries and some cherries. Simple, a bit yeasty, but a fair bit juicy.

Bottle. Pours with a heavy explosion; pairs best with a sink or a room that is supposed to be renovated soon; reddish brown. Smell is sour raspberry. Taste is tart and raspberry, tomato soup and old flaky ketchup, earthy. Though now it is a bit flat.
