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.

Bottle @ Billie's Craft Beer Fest 2022. Anno 2020.
Couleur acajou, col fin blanc-cassé.
Arôme offre un délicat parfum fruité des raisins - ici un côté fruit noir/baies avec en rétro-nasal un nez mettant en avant cette approche 'lambic' avec un rappel funk.

Palais est finement fruité/raisin avec un léger funk et qcq notes de sucre résiduel du fruit tout en ayant un certain mordant en fin de bouche - ici, acerbe et amer. Fleuri fruité arrive encore ne fin de bouche -

Draft @ Billie's Craft Beer Fest 2022. Anno 2020 batch.
Toujours difficile de proposer une bière faisant usage de pétales de roses - tant pour un caractère souvent puissant mais aussi associé avec des détecteurs sensoriels liés aux vaporisateurs.
Couleur fine rosé-cuivre, col blanc minuimaliste.
Arôme est frais avec un nez oscillant entre le funk et barrique d'une bière et l'apport fleuri typiqe de la rose - pétales ici, cela se passe bien sans jamais avoir la sensation que la rose vienne empiéter sur la base de la bière.
En bouche, même topo, le caractère rose passe bien avec la base acidulée de la bière, une petite douceur liée à cette rose parvient tout de même à se dégager - je note aussi un côté un peu fruité rappelant un moût de raisin et une fin tranchante assez sèche.

Draft @ Billie's Craft Beer Fest 2022.
Couleur assez trouble-cuivre, col crémeux léger rosé retombant vite.
Arôme sur un bouquet fruité généreux avec une bouquet terreux de framboises - funk avec une certaine acidité qui s'en dégage.
Palais est funk, baies dont un beau cvaractère de framboise qui marque son acidité entre râpeux (effet barrique?) et un effet plus acidulé qui perce sur la fin semblant plus sur une touche de rhubarbe.
