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 at the source @Mikulov-CZ. Dark rose wine pour with a pinkish foam. Nose proves sour cherries aroma along with red fruits. Mouth is moderate and practically hidden sourness, frizzy cherry candy, red vinous firm character.

Bottle at the source in Mikulov-CZ. Purple red wine-like pour with a pinkish foam. Nose is the most a beer can get close to a good red wine. Amazing. Mouth: soft or even hidden sourness (for me a big plus), beer with a rose-wine character. Innovative, adventurous. Bravo!!!

RBESG 19. Bottle. Brown body, some off whtie head. Heavy malty aroma, more plum than grapes. Tart taste, malty, subdued... simplistic, similar to the taste. Didn't work.

RBESG 19. Clear nestea body, dark golden. Heavy malt and peach actually more than apricot in the aroma for me. Tart, heavily malty (for the style) body, some funk, peach jam. Huh. Weird indeed.

RBESG 19. Clear ruby body, red wine appearance basically, but with an off white head. Red wine in the aroma going towards vinegar. Hmm... The vinegar kills it for me in the taste, red grapes playing second fiddle to it. Fine enough body, smooth and lightly prickly. Good stuff, but not the best they can do IMO.
