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.

Tap at Salon piva. Med-thin body, med-low carbonation. Light sourness, moderate tartness. The red grapes come through pretty cleanly and intensely, being the center of the beer. Feels very easy drinking, acceessible even, with almost no funk and only light sourness. Very nice balance though, very good.

Tap at Salon piva. 2020 vintage. Thin body, med-high carbonation. Med-light sourness, moderately tart, very easy drinking though. Nice complex mix of acids too. Rather restrained funk per se, making place for a mounting apricot presence, which goes from subtle to pretty intense in a few sips. Feels a bit simple, but that is a deceptive feeling and it makes for a very easy drinking rewarding wild ale at the same time. Very good.

330ml bottle. Opalescent, reddish-brown colour with average, frothy, fading, off-white head. Complex, fruity, tangy, sweet-ish, caramel malty aroma, notes of plum, cherry, morello, red berries, blue grapes, sherry, port, marsala, woody overtones, a touch of black pepper, juniper berry, honey, balsamico. Taste is sweet-and-sour, fruity, tangy, mildly woody, herbal, notes of red berries, cherry, morello, plum, blue grapes, lingonberry, sherry, port, marsala, a touch of honey, caramel, balsamico, juniper berry, black pepper, laurel, sage, some oak, whiffs of tea and tobacco; perfectly hidden alcohol. Creamy-oily texture, smooth and soft, slightly cloying palate, fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Very complex, superbly balanced, harmonious, thereby dangerously drinkable - absolutely outstanding work of genius!

Bottle shared at tasting. Odd sort of bright reflecting red-purple color, no head. Smell and taste are hard to describe, vinous, tart-bitter. Meh. Not my thing.

Fles gedeeld door Keukeman, geprobeerd met Benzai. Het is een helder bruin bier zonder schuim. Het heeft een zoete druif achtige geur. De smaak is zoet, druif achtig met hints van port en een licht zuurtje in de afdronk.

Small pink head over faintly veiled cyclamen-red beer. Sour cherries, sour grapes, red fruit, just some hints of wine. Delicate red:/pink fruitflavours, light rosé wine. Very fruity, refreshing flavours and a well-integrated flavourprofile. Spritzy, light to medium body. Maybe not the most outstanding of Jitka's beers, but definitely very attractive due to its balance and fruit. Thanks to the brewster!

Tap at Malt Worm. Thin body, med-high carbonation. High sourness, also medium tartness, initially shocking, but immediately harmonizing with further sips. Very rich natural raspberry character throughout, pits of which provides tha tartness. Light acetic acid provides complexity to this quite funky beer, big barnyard horse blanket flavour. Rich, well balanced, very good.
