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.

750ml bottle. Opalescent, dark ruby colour with average, frothy, rapidly diminishing, beige to tan head. Immensely fruity and slightly tangy aroma, rich and intense notes of morello, encompassing hints of blueberry and blackberry, blue grapes, blue grape juice, light oaky overtones. Taste is tart, tangy and fruity, slightly woody, notes of morello, hints of blue grapes, some vinegar, white pepper, black pepper, a touch of bramble, mustard seed, minimally tannic hints of oak; slightly dry finish with minimally increased sourness. Acid thinned, oily-watery texture, slightly dry and astringent, minimally greasy palate, medium to fine, prickly carbonation. Excellent aroma, wonderful taste, deep and dark morello flavours - superb!

Tap at Pivo & Burger. Well, they managed to kick 2 other beers I hadn't had at the Wild Creatures stand literally within 30 minutes of my arrival, but just getting this one made me happy. Misty full red body, pinkish-white head. Fresh, slightly tart cherry aroma. Soft, juicy tart cherry taste, with subtle, pleasant wild yeast notes, light funkiness. The fruit and the yeast work very well together, making this an excellent beer by all means.
