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.

Shared bottle at RB/HD at Askje 13.10.18. Dark orange ruby. Off-white head and lacing. Aroma of blue cheese, port salut, gym socks and fruit. Sour taste, still with port salut and sour fruits. Dry and acid mouthfeel. Interesting!

Tap at Zly casy. Med-high sourness, lightly acetic. Loads of apricot, very fresh and natural feeling. Much better than cherry - far better attenuation, less malt character, more apricot and most of all moderate carbonation, which makes it easy to drink. Very good.

Tap at Kulovy blesk. Very natural feeling, loads of cherries inside. However contrary to description, not fermented to dryness. Med-light sweetness remains, lightly tart and acetic. The biggest fault by far here is, that it completely lacks carbonation. Eh. Slightly disappointing.

Bottle shared by Marcus. Pours a light red wine color with a transient white head. Mild sourish aroma, possibly with a tinge of vinegar, and some red berry fruit. Approaching med body. Flavor is quite red berry, mildly sour, very dry. Gets a little earthy in the finish. Very tasty, refreshing and pleasing.

Bottle shared at Crafty. Deep purple color white coca cola head. Aroma of red wine. Taste has lots of fruit but minimal sourness and no funk. Barman thought is was non-alcoholic when he tasted it. A+ for the idea, but needs work.
