La Calavera / Bidassoa Madarikatua

An adventurous and vibrant take on a historic Lichtenhainer, this collaborative brew bursts with a complex fusion of tart fruit and delicate smoke. Aromas of ripe red raspberry and soft pear entwine with a gentle, rustic beechwood smoke that leads into a highly acidic, refreshing palate. The bright fruit characters of raspberry and pear temper the sharp lactic sourness, while a funky, wild yeast complexity adds intrigue. A subtle, clean, smoky undertone persists throughout, drying out the finish and leaving a crisp, lingering impression of fruit skin and campfire embers.
