Nature Amarene

Nature Amarene — Spontaneously Fermented Beer with Sour Cherries — Opperbacco Microbrewery

Nature Amarene is the beer with sour cherries crafted by Opperbacco Microbrewery, an artisanal brewery in Notaresco (Teramo, Abruzzo) with a philosophy deeply rooted in the territory. A beer that is born from the use of raw materials closely linked to the local area, to best enhance its products and productions. The sour cherries — after being stripped of their stems — are crushed and transferred to barrels. The beer wort ferments with the yeasts naturally present in the skins of the cherries: no added yeast, only what the fruit brings with it. The result is a beer that resembles a pet-nat in terms of aromas, bubbles, and acidity: fruity, mineral, tart, and complex.

Sensory Profile

On the nose, it is fruity and mineral: the sour cherries dominate with their characteristic acidity, on an earthy and slightly balsamic background reminiscent of natural wines. On the palate, it is tart and complex, with a fine and persistent carbonation similar to a pet-nat. The finish is long, fruity, and slightly tannic. A beer to be sipped slowly, as one would with a characterful natural wine.
