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.

3 yrs. Gushing after all these years!. Dark orange beer, unclear head. Again old sherry, slightly less sweet than the 002. Still sweetish, if with a nice sourish, spritzy carbonation, giving it a lively sparkle. Nuts, sherry Oloroso but going towards fino. Light body, quite slick. Utterly different from Blend 002, but still great in itself. The housemarquee is however apparent. Big txs to Jitka!

2022 bottling, 3yrs. No head, metallic orange beer lookings as liqueur; end of bottle solid deposit. Old casks, vintage wine, wet wood, wind-drenched; bretts. Sweet, old sweet sherry-like, Oloroso, cherries, dry grapes,sultanas. Light, not carbonated any longer, viscous-oily as fortified wine. Unbelievable thing, precious relic. Děkuju, Jitka!

Bottle,cellared for a lot of years in.my own cellar. Had this one before at Wild Festival Groningen (2107?), rated this as best beer of the festival. Curious how it cellared for all those years. Color: Very dark reddish brown, no head. I think it's darker than back in the days. Aroma: Dried red grapes, tartness, oxidation. Taste: Moderate sweet, moderate to over moderate tartness. Sirupy, dried red grapes, Port-like notes and some Balsamico vinegar. Bit boozy. Don't remember the tartness, I think it was mich sweeter back than, with grape-suhar and a much denser concentration of the dried red grapes. No carbonation. Great ageing though. It's still a very nice one. Although I lightly preferred the fresher one, I'm very glad to had the chance to taste this aged one.

750mL bottle from Base Camp. Pours murky dull yellow with a white head. Nose has buttery oak, citrus, some wood. Flavour has tons of bandaids, citrus, some buttery oak. Very thick-bodied for a geuze. Quite poor.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma has gentle funk, some orange zest, a touch of oak, and some muddled earthiness. Flavour has plenty of phenols, with plastic notes, orangey notes, and some muddled earthiness. Thick palate, with too much burnt rubber, and not enough good shit to balance. Disappointing.

Bottle 0.75l, four and half year aged. Clear, reddish colored. AROMA- sharp, sour, strong aged funky character, barrel, a bit cheesy, vinous, grape must, red wine. FLAVOR- lightly sweet, moderately sour, smooth and pleasant taste of red wine and dark grape juice, a bit sharp funky notes but not so strong as aroma. Medium to fuller bodied.
Great!

Tap at PBF 2025. Clear golden body, no head. Acetic, raisiny, caramelly aroma... huh, didn't expect that. Similar taste - acetic, raisiny, bit caramelly-sweetish, sour, THP-ish slightly perhaps. Wild Creatures usually do very much better than this.
