About this beer

Highland Brewing Company’s Wild Stardust is a sour ale fermented with cherries and blueberries, clocking in at 9.4% ABV. The label details a meticulous fermentation process, charting levels of sourness, oakiness, and dryness over 46 months. It’s described as having a “mouthfeel…like liquid silk” and notable cherry & blueberry notes. The beer is brewed with passion, as indicated on the label, and is presented as being less instant, more fermentation; less sourness, more complex; lighter color, darker flavor. The label artwork utilizes a striking red and white spiral design, interwoven with text detailing the brewing process and cautionary warnings.

The beer’s specific gravity is listed as 1.066 and final gravity as 1.004, offering a technical glimpse into its brewing profile. It’s a complex, long-aged ale designed for a nuanced tasting experience, leaning heavily into fruit-forward sourness and an elegant texture.
