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 from BaseCamp. Shared with Hrabren and Ogivlado. Cola brown body, Pelinkovac-like. Huge, atypical, sweet plum jam, grape jam, creamy, oxidation, hmmm... The taste, however, remains surprisingly similar, big plum/grape jam, solid tart finish, very much balanced, some barrel, cork pushes through but stays well integrated. This is some serious, excellent stuff. Pretty much a top class dessert beer, even though the aroma lets it down.

# 1083; 6/2018. Méně výrazný kriek, výrazně kyselý, viňový. Oproti belgickým klasikám tohoto stylu o něco méně komplexní. Celkově ale velmi dobré pivo.

330ml bottle @home, gift from ippopotamo36 (thank you!). Color lambrusco, schiuma bianca medio-leggera. Al naso note di vino rosso, ciliegia, stalla. In bocca è acida fruttata media, vinosa, abbastanza lunga e persistente. Corpo medio, carbonazione media. Niente male...
