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.

# 4229; 5/2024. As Wild Creatures Solera Vintage 2019, alc. 8 %. Realy nice aroma of wood, vanilla, fruit, farmyard. Murky ochre-gold body; no head. Red and white currant, fruity, unripe peach, oaky; harsh sour finish. Well, the aroma is amazing, taste is very good, but finish is too sour for me. It does not fit me. 0,75 l, bottle, craft-beer bar, Pilsen.

Tap at MVP. Med-thin body and sweetness, low carbonation. High sourness, combo character acetic-lacto. A but boring, lacking some more nuance. Not great, not terrible. Not even dark, just hazy.

Tap at WIld Beer Day 2024. Hazy red-orange body, off-white head. Earthy, oily, vegetal funky aroma. Earthy, curranty, lightly fruity messy taste, oily.... still needs time... if time will help it. Not to Wild Creatures standards...

Small bottle with Vojta & I think Evžen and Veronika? Meady dark amber body, no head I think. Peat, fermented honey, berries, malt, sweet grape jelly, light mold, light oak and a strong kick of alcohol in the aroma. Sweet-sourish line taste, grapes, spicy grapes really, some grainy maltiness, caramelly, lightly mousy I reckon, some warmth - though okay for 15.6%. Nah, not the best Resurrection. Might use more age!

0.75l bottle at Wild Beer Day 2024. Slightly hazy amber-orange body, off-white head. Oaky, dry aroma, brett, no real floral/rose touches. Spicy dried out taste, soft, bit yeasty, bretty, peppery - definitely no floral/rose notes anymore, if they ever were to be noted, but by now they are gone, with the beer still being excellent.

Tap at Wild Beer Day 2024. Murky brown body, off-white head. Fresh tart aroma, touch of dark malts and cherry. Soft, light malty taste, lightly fruity, some wild, bretty notes, not much more. Very much basic, not very Flandersish. Might need more age!
